Troubled times for Ukrainian Liberty

Date: February 16, 2004
Author: Ivan Khokhotva
QUOTE: President Kuchma's critics at home and abroad say Svoboda's difficulties are part of a campaign to muzzle the free media.

ABSTRACT: The decision by local partner station “Dovira”  to stop airing “Radio Liberty” broadcasts in Ukraine is widely condemned as a recent example of attack on media freedom in the  country. Opposing politicians and international observers accuse the government of a severe crackdown on independent radio and television before the crucial presidential elections due to take place later this year.
