Roland Bless, the director of the office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, told RFE/RL the resolution is a necessary reminder of the risks journalists face and the international legal obligations governments are under to protect members of the press and prosecute their attackers.
Despite such laws, Bless said in many places there is no justice for crimes against the press.
...
Bless noted the lack of pluralism in Central Asian media, which he said contributes to a tense environment for journalists. Although the situation varies among the five Central Asian republics, print and broadcast outlets tend to be controlled by the state.
By contrast, he said Russia has more media diversity and a more "mature" media environment.
...
Bless said so far the Russian authorities have not given the OSCE a direct answer to their request for an investigation and report of their findings. -
