In the Coordinator’s address to Tim Davie, Director-General of the BBC, reads, in part:
“The situation with the refusal of the Russian side refusal to extend the visa of Sarah Rainsford, a BBC correspondent in Moscow, after a decade of creative work in Russia, was and remains a paralyzing, painful, and painful ordeal for her and the BBC Corporation, and cannot but cause concern.
Global Citizens calls on the BBC Corporation to take the initiative to create a well-thought-out strategy for solving such issues, integrate it into the national plans of the United Kingdom, and work with all interested parties to settle and resolve the question of the future work of talented journalist Sarah Rainsford in Russia and the future not to create conditions for retaliatory measures by the Russian side against British citizens in Russia.
The world is obviously an increasingly complicated place. But the BBC Corporation has only one asset—its people. To remain effective over the next 100 years, BBC must do more work to maintain the current high-quality BBC corps. “
