Kyiv Court of Appeals upheld the appeal of "Channel 5" and annulled the ruling of the Pechersk District Court of Kyiv on the seizure of the accounts of the television and radio company "NBM" ("Channel 5"). This was stated by "Channel 5" lawyer Iryna Poda, referring to the court decision of November 1, reports "Ukrainian News". \n \n"Our appeal was upheld... Our accounts have been unblocked through legal means," said Poda. \n \nRecall that on October 28, the Kyiv Court of Appeals postponed the hearing in the case of the television company "Channel 5" to November 1 due to the failure of Verkhovna Rada deputy Volodymyr Sivkovych to appear at the hearing, at whose request the Pechersk District Court blocked the television company's accounts. On October 25, Sivkovych signed a request to the court to withdraw his lawsuit against the television company "Channel 5". "Channel 5" stated that it has no need for Sivkovych's request to the court, because the Pechersk Court accepted "Channel 5's" appeal, and the television company is confident that it will win the case. A group of "Channel 5" journalists on the evening of October 25 announced a hunger strike in protest against pressure on the television company. Earlier, Sivkovych proposed that television companies hold televised debates with the participation of "Channel 5" on the boundary between freedom of speech and the responsibility of journalists and media owners. Sivkovych promised that if such a discussion were organized, he would sign a request to the court asking to unblock the seized account of "Channel 5". On October 18, Sivkovych announced the decision of the Pechersk Court of Kyiv to seize the accounts of "Channel 5" and the personal property of the head of the Rada's budget committee, Petro Poroshenko, until he apologizes to Sivkovych. After the report of the special investigative commission on Yushchenko's poisoning, announced by Sivkovych, Poroshenko accused him of reading a report that had not been prepared by the commission. Poroshenko believes that the court's decision to block "Channel 5's" accounts was caused by political pressure on the television company.
