The Russian Civic Chamber recorded about 100 cases in which the rights of journalists in Russia were violated this year, the head of the organization's Media Commission told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"We have detected about 100 cases of violations of the rights of journalists, and all of them, as they say, lie on the surface. This is only what was not hushed up at the regional level ... We did not monitor on a constant basis, but starting in January we want to do it strictly and permanently," Aleksander Malkevich said.
Cases include beatings, hampering of professional activities, unjustified dismissals and arrests, and the murder of one journalist in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, according to the commission head.
Most resonant cases will be discussed at a meeting of the Civic Chamber's Coordinating Council of regional media on December 19, when the chamber will also propose launching a "hot line" for journalist rights violations, Malkevich underlined.
