Journalists' complaints on Slutsky will be considered no later than March 22

The head of the State Duma ethics commission Otari Arshba told RBC that the journalists' complaints about harassment by a member of the LDPR faction Leonid Slutsky will be considered "no later than" Thursday, March 22. The meeting of the commission will be held in private.

Three journalists have openly blamed Leonid Slutsky for harassment: Ekaterina Kotrikadze, deputy editor-in-chief of RTVI, Farida Rustamova, BBC Russian correspondent, and Daria Zhuk, producer of the Dozhd TV channel. Arshba told Interfax that he plans to invite journalists who made complaints to the meeting, and that he had already received "convincing" explanations from Slutsky.
