The UK bank accounts of the Russian television channel RT (formerly Russia Today) have been blocked, editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan reported on Monday.
NatWest, the bank that RT had an account with, sent a letter to the broadcaster noting that the entire Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) group, which NatWest are a part of, would refuse to serve the news channel. No reason has been given.
In reporting the incident, Simonyan tweeted: “Our accounts in Britain have been blocked. All of them. ‘Decision’ not to be discussed. Hail to freedom of speech!”
