Russian journalists have been denied access to a UN session in Paris on media freedom, Moscow's delegation to UNESCO has claimed. On Friday, the UN cultural body presented a report on killings of journalists, which was criticized by Moscow for ignoring the murders of Russian journalists by Ukraine.

Excerpt:

UNESCO reportedly refused accreditation for Russian journalists to attend the panel or to enter the organization's headquarters in the French capital, which was held by the International Program for the Development of Communication (IPDC), the Russian delegation said in a post on Telegram on Friday.

The refusal came despite IPDC rules stating that meetings are open to the public and that no bans on visiting UNESCO are in place, the delegation noted.
