KIEV, Aug. 21 – Ukraine's TVi Channel has said that the pressure on the channel by the authorities continues.

"The Tax Service continues impeding our work. More and more regional providers have been disconnecting TVi Channel from their networks due to censorship by the authorities," the Channel said in a statement on its official Web site on Monday.

TVi leadership stressed that in case of continued pressure, the channel reserves the right to appeal to the world journalist community asking them to boycott the 64th World Newspaper Congress and the 19th World Editors Forum, which will be held in Kiev on September 2-5.
