From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 10/8/2005 6:23 AM 7.10.2005 22:07 MSK Russian version of Euronews subjected to censorship RUSSIA, Moscow. Two editors of the Internet site Human Rights in Russia (hro.org) have uncovered a scandal: the Russian editorship of Euronews unexpectedly halted a translation of a speech by British Prime Minister Tony Blair into Russian. The speech, at a press conference on 4 October in connection with the Russia - European Union summit in London, included views on the situation in Chechnya.
According to Human Rights in Russia, this is not the first time the editorship of Euronews in Russia has blocked information form reaching the viewers of the popular European channel's Russian viewers. The organisation also referred to the fact that the state-owned Russian radio-television broadcasting service owns a large share packet in Euronews.
