On Journalist Day, Member of Parliament Artem Dmytruk described the work of genuine media professionals in today's realities as truly heroic. The MP posted a photo of UOJ journalists on his Telegram channel, taken during a court hearing.

"In this photo are real journalists who are currently in pre-trial detention on false and flimsy charges. I wish you only one thing – resilience!" he wrote.

Artem Dmytruk wished the imprisoned prisoners of conscience strength and faith in a better future.

"With you are millions of Ukrainians, and we will keep on fighting for your release!" noted the Member of Parliament.

As the UOJ reported, the lawyer stated that in the case of Orthodox journalists, the court is taking the side of the prosecution.
