The Press Council of Moldova asked the Press Council of Russia to examine if the norms of professional journalistic ethics were observed in the program “Pusti govoreat” (“Let them speak”) of September 24, which was broadcast on the Russian TV channel “Pervyi Canal” (“First Channel”), Info-Prim Neo reports. According to the Press Council, the program centered on a case that happened in a village in Floresti district, where a teenage boy was beaten and humiliated by a teenage girl and her friends, with the filmed scene being posted on the Internet. The underage persons involved in this case were invited to take part in the program and asked to tell in detail what happened, to answer the moderator’s and other invitees’ questions. The children were exposed to public contempt. They exteriorized their emotions and went again through that unpleasant situation that affected them psychologically. The Press Council of Moldova considers that the international ethical standards for journalists were seriously violated. It asked the similar institution of Russia to warn the TV channel that broadcast the program and the moderator Andrei Malahov about the inadmissibility of violating the rights of the children-victims in journalistic materials.
