"Russia's RT and Sputnik barred from UK conference on media freedom"
The Foreign Office has banned Russiaâs RT and Sputnik news organisations from attending a global conference on media freedom in London because of their âactive role in spreading disinformationâ.
Sixty ministers and 1,000 journalists and members of civil society are expected to attend the meeting, co-hosted with Canada, on Wednesday and Thursday.
âWe have not accredited RT or Sputnik because of their active role in spreading disinformation,â a Foreign Office spokeswoman said...
The Kremlin said it regretted the decision, which it described as absurd. âThere can be no conference about the freedom of the press when journalists are barred from taking part in it,â said the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He mocked what he called âthe absurdity of what is happeningâ. âWe can only regret this,â he added.
The Russian embassy previously condemned the decision relating to RT as âdirect politically motivated discriminationâ and said it had complained to the Foreign Office. In a statement on Friday, it said RT had been told there was no space for its journalists at the conference.
