The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), a worldwide body representing as many as 600,000 media experts worldwide, on Wednesday announced that it had actually suspended the Russian Union of Journalists (RUJ) from the organization.The IFJs relocation was available in reaction to the RUJs current choice to expand its work to the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, which it said had contravened the organizations principles, according to a statement released on the IFJ website.
The IFJ is a company developed on worldwide uniformity, on principles of cooperation between member unions and respect for the rights of all reporters, IFJ President Dominique Pradalié stated.
The Russian Union of Journalists actions ...
have clearly shattered this uniformity and sown departments among sibling unions, Pradalié added.
The IFJ president likewise noted that the company would be seeking to find ways to support Russian independent reporters both inside and outside the country and to continue to provide uniformity to our two Ukrainian affiliates.
The IFJs statement comes weeks after Finnish, Norwegian, Danish and Icelandic reporter unions left the international body mentioning its perceived inactiveness over the RUJs activities on occupied Ukrainian territory.
The suspension of Russias membership was likewise validated by the Russian Unions Chairman Vladimir Solovyev, who informed Russias state-run TASS news firm that the IFJ had sent me a letter informing me that the membership of the Russian Union of Journalists has been suspended.
