'I don't feel safe now': Journalists in Ukraine anxious after Babchenko operation
Citat:
The murky Babchenko operation and the so-called hit list, as well as remarks made by Ukrainian officials and associated websites in recent days, have exacerbated journalists' unease. Babchenko himself has not responded to CPJ's interview requests. But in a series of posts on his Facebook page, the Russian journalist has castigated colleagues who criticized his decision to cooperate with the SBU.
In a post on her personal Facebook page, Larysa Sargan, spokesperson for Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, added two prominent journalists to a list of citizens she suggested behaved in a "traitorous" manner when they criticized the staged murder of Babchenko.
Meanwhile, a pro-government website that has in the past doxed journalists who reported critically on Ukrainian authorities published a statement to "reassure some well-known 'journalists' who are not on the list for liquidation," a reference to the alleged hit list. After naming nine Ukrainian journalists, it added: "Sleep calmly, dear 'friends,' you are still very much needed for the Russian aggressor, because you are its hope and support in Ukraine."
LOL.

The next time [a government official] is killed should we really report it or wait for a funeral? And should Angela Merkel wait for a funeral to deliver her statement the next time?
I think Ukrainian law enforcement officials failed to assess the negative consequences of this operation and measure them against the potential benefits.
And at the end of the day, what was all of this for? To prove a Russian connection? I am yet to see the proof.

Citat:
The Babchenko case undermines the credibility of Ukrainian authorities (yes, they had some remaining). We already took what authorities said with a grain of salt, but we at least used to believe them when they reported someone dead. We were shown that we can't believe even that. This undercuts all future investigations of real murders of journalists and attacks on them. Babchenko's colleagues were at the murder scene collecting surveillance video footage and talking to witnesses hours after the "murder." Foreign press and international organizations reacted briskly. Will it be the same when another journalist is assassinated for real in Ukraine (unfortunately, it's "when" not "if")? There will inevitably be a bit of an initial doubt - is it for real this time? Should we react now or wait until we're sure?
Det säger ukrainska (!!!) journalister som annars är extremt pro-Poroshenko - kolla bara på Fitz eller ABljuger, deras världsbild baseras på de ukrainska medier lögner - igår hyllade de Savtjenko, idag är hon Putins agent
