The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN) called the decision of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to close the TV channels 112 Ukraine, NewsOne and ZiK contrary to international human rights standards.
This is stated in the latest report of the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, which covers the period from February 1 to April 30.
In addition, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights continues to document attacks on human rights defenders, media workers and political figures. "Such cases continued to go unpunished due to slow police action or lack of it," the UN said.
