European Press Freedom Groups to Challenge RT, Sputnik Ban in Court
The Dutch Association of Journalists - together with several freedom of press groups, Internet service providers and individuals - has announced its intention to challenge the EU’s ban of RT and Sputnik news in the European Court.
In the official statement the “coalition” called the ban "far-reaching,” adding that it disrupts the freedom of information principles which are "a foundation of [European] democracy."
"Disinformation should not be battled with the use of censorship in a constitutional state," said Thomas Bruning, the association's general secretary.
