- Case Summary
The Kiev Appellate Court upheld a lower court's decision that a television channel, "Channel One Russia", did not harm the honor and dignity of an individual whose photograph was featured in a news segment. The suit was brought by Mr. Gleb Golovchenko, whose image was shown for three seconds during an eight-minute segment about foreign funding of the Maidan protests in Ukraine. The appellate court agreed with the first instance court finding that Mr. Golovchenko failed to prove that the information in the segment was about him, harmed his moral rights, or gave the impression that he was involved in the anti-government protests held in Maidan Square.
