"Using tax and libel laws as instruments of his hostility to journalists, Kuchma runs roughshod over any expression of opposition. His tacit acceptance of violence against the press has encouraged bombings of newspaper offices, assaults on reporters and editors, and a general climate of fear and self-censorship." � Committee to Protect Journalists
In 2002, 62% of the country's journalists claim to have been victims of political censorship. In fact, all major television networks in the country, as well as every press agency and the regional media, are censored by the President's staff, who are not very fond of criticism. Some 20 journalists have been killed since the country declared its independence in 1991. Incidents of physical violence are constantly rising, especially in rural areas. Despite pressures from the Council of Europe, the state of press freedom in Ukraine deteriorated in 2002. None of the investigations into murders or missing persons have been solved, and the high-ranking government officials that are party to these crimes benefit from total impunity.
