A spokesman for the State Department of the Interior in Moscow, Yuri Titov, commented on the non-admission of the crew of the RT television channel and the Ruptly video agency to a rally in support of freedom of speech in RuNet. According to him, the competence of the internal affairs bodies does not include the regulation and admission of anyone to the territory of a mass event. This is done by the organizers, stressed Titov. On March 10, the RT film crew was not allowed to the agreed rally through the common entrance, since the operators had video equipment with them. In this regard, the journalists were redirected to the press zone, but at the entrance they were met by the organizers, including the press secretary of the Libertarian Party, who refused to let the RT journalists pass.
