Authoritative Italian journalist and politician Giulietto Chiesa is being kept in custody in Estonia without proper explanation of the causes, his wife, Fiammetta Cucurnia, told TASS late on Monday.
"Giulietto is being kept in a detention ward. His mobile phone has been taken from him. But what is most surprising is that neither he nor the Italian foreign ministry have been explained the reason for his detention," she said.
Chiesa arrived in the Estonian capital city Tallinn early on Monday
to take part in a conference entitled "Is Russia Europe's Enemy?" However he failed to do that, since he was arrested in a hotel, his wife said, adding that the Italian ambassador to Italy was staying with the journalist.
The local media said the Italian journalists and former member of the European Parliament, who openly criticizes the policy of NATO's eastwards expansion conducted by the United States and some European countries, particularly the Baltic republic, had been put on a blacklist of personae non grata.Chiesa spent many years in Russia and witnessed the collapse of the former Soviet Union and the birth of new Russia. He visits Russian quite frequently and
now he is among the few in Europe who openly speaks about what is going on in Ukraine and where the Ukrainian crisis is rooted in. Chiesa organizes conferences and seminars where he condemns the United States' policy and warns against one-polar world. The latest such conference took place on December 12 at the national parliament and involved international experts, political observers, commentators.
On December 13, Chiesa organized a roundtable meeting within the framework of the Nobel Peace Prize Winner summit in Rome. The meeting was attended by Federica Mogherini, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Apart from that, Chiesa has launched his own information project aiming to present alternative vision of the developments in eastern Ukraine in contrast to the official European media.
Comment: We only have to read the
statements of Giulietto Chiesa to understand why the U.S. puppet Estonia is keeping him in custody.
"There is no freedom of information in the West," he said. "World media are dominated by the American dictates. There is only one opinion. It is nothing else but censorship." [...]
"The revolt in Ukraine was preceded by long and thorough preparations by the United States," the Italian journalist stressed. "This is the only way once can interpret Victoria Nuland's words about five billion dollars. It is absolutely obvious." [...]
"Journalists are ignorant themselves and are playing on people's ignorance. In Italy, for instance, they have been suggesting the idea that Russia has intruded into Ukraine." [...]
He said he strongly believed Russia's actions could be characterized as "defence," not as "attack."
Update 22:53 CET, 17 Dec 2014
Tallinn police have expelled Chiesa from Estonia. The country's Foreign Minister told RT in an e-mail that this was "due to his pro-Russian views, which make him a threat to Estonia's national security."
The gloves have completely come off: it is now a crime to speak favorably about Russia in NATO-stan. The psychopathic Western oligarchs must be getting desperate!
It is sad how the US uses the 'equivalent' of the Mafia to control small and 'unimportant' countries.
They have 'other' means for large and powerful ones such as Germany (and yes, it's just as bad) - via blackmailing and spying on their leaders rather than 'appointing' them.
I wonder if they realise that the good people of ALL countries out number the bad people? And, not everyone is brainwashed. These people can very easily influence what is going on. They just need to start talking between themselves. And flexing their muscles. It would be a simple thing to have him released.
