Russian reporters given travel ban

The pro-EU government was accused of trampling on free speech yesterday when it banned two Russian journalists from entering the country for five years.

The ban affects Dmitri Kiselev, head of state-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya, and Andrei Kondrashov, who directed a documentary about events in Crimea last year.

Moldovan authorities have banned the film and also turned back Russian reporters last week who wanted to cover regional elections in anti-EU region Gagauzia.
