For persecuting people in the civilized world, they can be forced face-down on the ground: Austria's minister commented on the arrest of Ukrainska Pravda journalists
Ukrainian journalistic methods were not understood in one of Europe’s oldest democracies. Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner explained that the arrest of Ukrainska Pravda journalists Mykhailo Tkach and Yaroslav Bondarenko was carried out in accordance with current Austrian law. They are suspected of conducting covert intelligence activities to the detriment of Austria. This was reported by the Austrian outlet Heute.
In general, for persecuting people and trying to obtain a comment at any cost, in the civilized world they can be forced face-down on the ground. Persistent pursuit of a person, known as “stalking,” is a criminal offense under Austrian law. For this, even journalists can receive up to one year of imprisonment.
Former SAP prosecutor Stanislav Bronevitsky sarcastically commented on the situation and Ukrainska Pravda’s outrage over the response from the Vienna police. “It’s time to announce a reform of the Vienna police and prosecutor’s office and to introduce a competition for the position of police chief and, accordingly, prosecutor. Definitely with a majority vote in favor of internationals. Austrian reforms cannot be stopped,” he suggested.
