Latvia joins Lithuania ban on Russia's state television over 'security threat' from Ukraine coverage

Latvian media council imposes three-month suspension of Russian state broadcaster RTR Rossiya because 'biased' coverage of Ukraine crisis would 'incite discord'

The country joined Lithuania yesterday in banning Russian state television broadcasts because it claimed programmes about the Ukraine crisis were not in its security interests.

Latvian media council spokeswoman Sanita Blomniece said that a three-month suspension of RTR Rossiya broadcasts would begin on April 8.

A court decision in neighbouring Lithuania upheld a similar ban on broadcasts by Russian RTR Planeta because some programmes were biased and “likely aimed to incite discord.”
