Hohols Ban Press from Entering Kherson, Tie People to Poles

The Hohol people are a truly brave race of swine.

Pole taping is back on the menu.

RT:

Kherson residents suspected of collaborating with Russia allegedly face public punishment, as seen in photographs released by The Associated Press (AP). Ukrainian forces took over the city last week, after the withdrawal of Russian troops.

The news agency published pictures of two individuals tied to posts. A group of civilians and at least one soldier can be seen next to them.

According to the AP description, the people were “alleged collaborators.” It didn’t explain how the punishment had come about. Pillorying is not part of the Ukrainian legal system but has been used by nationalists in the country in recent years.

Haha.

It’s part of the legal system now!

It’s who we are in a democracy!

Pillorying!

The article goes on to say that the Hohols have banned the media completely.

Images published by AP and other news organizations showed crowds welcoming Ukrainian troops in Kherson. However, covering the situation poses challenges for the media, since the Ukrainian Defense Ministry banned them from going there freely. Kiev said it needed to conduct “stabilization activities.”

On Sunday, the ministry released a blacklist of those, who had ignored the warning. Journalists working for CNN and Sky News were reportedly among those who lost their press accreditation.

Why would you ban the media?

Unless you were doing something really bizarre, like maybe pillorying, I don’t see why you would ban the media.
