The Kazakh edition was released to the Russian court because of the material about the war

The Kazakh edition of Arbat.media was released to the Leninsky District Court of the city of Vladimir in the case of “fakes” about the Russian army. The lawsuit was filed by the military prosecutor’s office.

The notice states that the mass media published fakes about numerous losses in the ranks of the Russian army, shelling of Ukrainian cities and the deaths of civilians. The prosecutor’s office also accused the publication of “creating protest-minded people.”

We are talking about September material Arbat.media under the heading “Russian invaders suffer defeat in Kharkiv region, but do not want to admit it”. It reported that Ukrainian troops managed to recapture several occupied territories in the Kharkiv region.

The prosecution’s lawsuit states that the occupation of Ukrainian territories is not part of Russia’s plans. In addition, the document states that residents of the Russian-controlled regions of the Donbass themselves asked Russian President Vladimir Putin for help because of the “military aggression of the Ukrainian regime.” Roskomnadzor demanded The publication will remove the material in November 2022.

The hearing on the case is scheduled for February 17. The editors of Arbat.media note that they “disagree with the accusations”.

Roskomnadzor has already demanded that several Kazakh and Kyrgyz media remove publications about the war in Ukraine. Notifications from the department received NewTimes.kz, Ratel.kz, Exclusive.kz, Kloop.kg, “Vlast” and “Informbyuro”. At the same time, none of the mass media was summoned to the Russian court.

The only Kazakh publication that fulfilled the requirements of Roskomnadzor and deleted news, the website Newtimes.kz became. The editors explained the decision as a reluctance to “leave the Russian audience access to information.”

After the full-scale armed invasion of the Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine, military censorship was actually introduced in Russia, prohibiting talking about the so-called “special operation” not from the state’s position.

Since the beginning of the war for the clarification of the war in Ukraine, different from the version of the Ministry of Defense, more than seven thousand websites have been blocked. Many editorial offices were forced to stop working or continue their activities from abroad.
