A CNN freelance journalist was abducted in Ukraine and detained by rebel forces. Story continues below video.
Anton Skiba was taken by gunmen after working at the
Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 crash site.
The
self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic is taking responsibility for
the kidnapping. Since his detention, CNN has attempted through a number
of different separatist officials to secure Skiba’s freedom.
The news network is now publicly asking those who are holding Skiba
to release him, after private meetings to secure Skiba’s freedom failed.
Several international human rights and press freedom organizations have since called for Skiba’s immediate release.
