Free Press in North Caucasus Continues to Deteriorate

Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow, Fatima Tlisova, is featured on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's website in a recent blog post titled "Free Press in North Caucasus Continues to Deteriorate."

"Information in Russia’s North Caucasus republics is tightly controlled by the state and the threats to independent media there continue to grow, according to prominent Russian journalist Fatima Tlisova.

In a talk at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington, D.C., on June 15, Tlisova, who once served as editor in chief of the Russian Regnum News Agency, discussed her most recent travels in the North Caucasus and illustrated the decline of independent Russian media through eight cases of state repression." :: visit
