Despite the temporary imprisonment of our colleagues, we believe that they will soon be released, that they will not betray their ideals, and therefore their membership in our Union will support them morally and strengthen their spirit. In addition, by joining our Union, they will also be under the protection of the International Federation of Journalists, and this will help them and us to strengthen the foundations of freedom of speech in Crimea and more fully implement this indispensable condition for democracy”,- said Serhii Tomilenko, chairman of the NUJU.
