The group said it does question the real reason for the reporters' arrest. The group also said that the journalists had dealt with issues that are "sensitive for the authorities."
Oleksandr Pomytkin, known for investigating corruption within the security forces, was arrested on 23 May on charges of "fraudulently taking sums of money belonging to an individual."
