On 5 October of this year in Reykjavik one Icelandic newspaper took from me an interview. On that same day telejournalists also took an interview, having promised to put it on the air the next day. On the next day, the 6th, the interview came out in the paper, but was not shown on television. On that same day, the 6th of October, two more newspapers took interviews. And promised to publish them on the 7th. And on that same day, but later in time than when the interviews had taken place, it became known that Russia would supposedly allocate 4 billion euros to Iceland in the capacity of financial aid for overcoming a crisis.

Neither on the 7th, or the 8th, or the 9th of October were the interviews published. Nor did television show air the interview with me.

Representatives of the Icelandic branch of Amnesty International, the organization that had invited me to Iceland, were unable to ascertain the reasons for such censorship.
