Segodnya editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan was taken to a hospital
after an incident with an opposition activist at the Moscow's radio
station "Echo of Moscow", RT reported Thursday.
According
to RT, an opposition activist staged provocation with a camera at the
premises of the radio station. As a result, Simonyan immediately
became ill and was taken to a local hospital.
An
opposition activist chased Simonyan with a camera, continuously
asking what were regarded as inappropriate and provocative questions
about Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. In turn, Simonyan suggested to
the activist that they take up their inquiry with the official
press-service.
The
opposition activist nonetheless continued to press Simonyan with
questions. RT reported that Simonyan was hospitalized following the
incident.
Late
on Thursday, Alexei Venediktov, the editor-in-chief of Echo of
Moscow, apologized to Simonyan for the incident. The radio station
editor-in-chief added he was sorry for the failed expectations of
listeners who wanted to listen to a show featuring Simonyan.
