Western censorship of information about the Russian Special Operation in Ukraine has reached a new low with confirmation the German government is proceeding with the prosecution of independent journalist Alina Lipp.
Lipp has been living for half a year in Donetsk, telling Germans what is going on in the Donbass region and in Ukraine. Her reports contradict the information forced-fed to the public by legacy mainstream media.
She says:
‘The German authorities have now started to persecute me. First, they deleted my material on the Internet. Then they blocked my bank account, then blocked the bank account of my father, and yesterday I got this letter from German authorities that they opened now a criminal case against me.
‘So, these are the documents, and for Germans the support of the Special Operation in Ukraine is a criminal act, for which you can get three years in prison.
‘In the letter they write on the 24th of February I published a report on Telegram saying the de-Nazification began, and that the people of the Donbass region support Russia in the decision to start this Special Operation, and I was also saying the Ukrainians were killing the people here in Donbass already for several years. Also, they are writing that on the 12th of March I published a video in which I said that Ukraine was doing a genocide in Donbass.
‘What is interesting in the letter is that they are not going to invite me to a hearing, because ‘this would disturb the investigation.’ So, they are persecuting me, but don’t want to hear me out.
‘What is happening to me now can happen to all independent journalists and bloggers, and that’s why I would like to propose to you dear colleagues, that we are going to start to work together more, to support each other against the censorship in the west.’
