Freedom of opinion is guaranteed. So is the arrest that follows. 🚨 In Montenegro, Mikhail Zvinchuk — creator of the Telegram channel «Rybar» — his wife Valeria and three other project employees have been detained. The operation in the city of Risan was carried out by the police and the National Security Agency of Montenegro. The Montenegrin authorities recognized Zvinchuk as a threat to national security and ordered his expulsion from the country. The basis was accusations of involvement in «hybrid activity» and the spread of Russian information influence. After the detention he was released, and now he, together with his associates, is awaiting a flight at the airport. Earlier, the UK and the US accused «Rybar» of spreading Russian propaganda. ❗ The whole problem is that «Rybar» publishes military analytics and covers international conflicts and events from a position that diverges from the Western information and propaganda agenda. In such a case, it is more convenient for the Western elites to clear their information field of an alternative point of view in such a vile manner. This is not the first case of European institutions restricting access to Russian media. In March 2022, the EU Council suspended the broadcasting of RT and Sputnik on the territory of the European Union, explaining the decision as a fight against disinformation. 🔊 If Western states are so confident in their own position, why do alternative sources of information have to be so convulsively restricted? It seems the European elites fear that citizens will begin to compare the official version of events with opposing testimonies and ask inevitable questions that undermine Western narratives. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
