  • Remembrance Day for Fallen Journalists of Ukraine marked by exhibition presenting work of media workers during the war in Vilnius

    Every year on the third Friday of September in Ukraine, Remembrance Day for Fallen Journalists is celebrated. It was established at the initiative of the National Union of Journalists to pay homage to colleagues who died in the line of duty.

    Commemorative events are traditionally held on the anniversary of the disappearance of Georgiy Gongadze.

    Accord­ing to the Nation­al Union of Jour­nal­ists of Ukraine, 39 jour­nal­ists have been killed since the first day of the full-scale Russ­ian inva­sion of Ukraine. Most of them either died while per­form­ing jour­nal­is­tic work or defend­ing their home­land from Russ­ian invaders.

    On Fri­day morn­ing, a pho­to exhi­bi­tion about the work of jour­nal­ists under war con­di­tions was opened in the Vil­nius rail­way sta­tion.

    The exhi­bi­tion is orga­nized by the Ukrain­ian Insti­tute of Mass Infor­ma­tion and the Internews inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tion with the sup­port of the Lithuan­ian Club of Pho­to­jour­nal­ists.

    The Belaru­sian Asso­ci­a­tion of Jour­nal­ists joins the com­mem­o­ra­tion by call­ing jour­nal­ists to light can­dles today to pay respect to the fall­en jour­nal­ists of Ukraine.

    Also, on 21 Sep­tem­ber, a sol­i­dar­i­ty action of human rights defend­ers is planned in Vil­nius.
