Young athletic thugs were obstruc ting the cameraman's work while he was shooting a court hearing. "We came to a shooting of a court session in the Krasnogvardiyskyi district court. We started shooting and the session hadn't even started yet when thugs entered the session hall and started obstructing our work. First, the defendant asked me to turn off the camera. After that two athletic men shielded the camera with their backs. I had to lift the camera above my head. When they noticed I was still filming, they grabbed my tripod. One of them started ordering me to switch the camera off, started swearing and threatening," the cameraman said.
