Journalist Medyanik was beaten while filming a report.

copperheadJournalist Serhiy Medyanik and his camera operator were beaten while filming. The brutal assault took place in Kyiv's Poshtova Square, at the premises of the Taurus Alliance company, where representatives of the Stop Corruption NGO had come to investigate the illegal activities of the Kompot café. Almost immediately, they were attacked by an unknown individual, who injured the camera operator and then Medyanik.

 

Given that the attacker struck him primarily on the head with great force, the journalist was taken to the hospital with a concussion. The StopCorruption team and the victims are not inclined to classify the incident as hooliganism and filed a police report under Article 171 of the Criminal Code (intentional obstruction of the lawful professional activities of journalists).
