The investigation suspended the investigation into the attack on Radio Liberty journalists in the Krasnodar Territory

The Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kavkazsky District of the Krasnodar Territory suspended the preliminary investigation into the attack on journalists of Radio Liberty in March 2017. This is written on the website of the publication.

The investigation was suspended back in May 2017 due to the fact that the attackers could not be found, but the victims were not notified about this.

On March 27, 2017, Radio Liberty correspondents Sergei Khazov-Kassia and Andrei Kostyanov were attacked by young men in masks, beat them and stole filming equipment, leaving in a minibus waiting for them at the hotel.

The journalists arrived in Kropotkin to cover the "tractor march" - a protest action that was supposed to draw the attention of the federal authorities to raider seizures of land in the region.
