An exhibition titled The War Is Not Over Yet showcasing Russia's crimes against journalists has opened in Khmelnytskyi and will run until September 12. The Institute of Mass Information reports this.
The exhibition features stories and photographs of journalists, cameramen, photographers, and fixers who were killed, wounded, or captured since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
According to IMI data (as of August 11), a total of 66 media workers were killed in Ukraine during this period. Ten of them died while performing their professional duties (four were Ukrainian citizens, and six were foreigners who came to cover the Russian-Ukrainian war). Another 56 Ukrainian media workers were killed while defending the country as participants in combat operations or due to Russian shelling and torture.
In total, since February 24, 2022, Russians have committed over 500 crimes against journalists and the media. Journalists regularly come under Russian shelling, are attacked by drones, and have been kidnapped and tortured by Russians.
This exhibition demonstrates solidarity with journalists who are fighting for the truth, risking their own lives. To learn more about the fallen media workers, you can visit the exhibition at 40 Proskurivska Street, Khmelnytsky (near Taras Shevchenko Park).
The exhibition is organized by the Ukrainian PEN, the Institute of Mass Information, the Center for Human Rights 'Zmina,' the National Museum of the Revolution of Dignity, and the Georgiy Gongadze Prize.
The exhibition has been traveling to various Ukrainian cities for over a year. It has already been presented in Kharkiv, Ternopil, Poltava, Kyiv, Boyarka, Vinnytsia, and Odessa.
