The decision of the Government of Russia to ban access to more than 80 media outlets within the country - which includes three media outlets in Cyprus - blatantly clashes with principles and values on which democracy itself is based and the pluralism it reinforces.
Access to free and independent information, freedom of opinion and expression, freedom to receive and transmit information and freedom of the press serve as converging principles, as individual rights, but at the same time as pillars of the foundation and armouring of democracy.
