Dear friends,

CNN in their news blocks has thrice showed my photos, without indication the copyright.

The pictures were taken during dispersal if the peaceful demonstration on 01 March 2008 in Yerevan, Armenia. The pictures were taken with great risk and I have managed to save them only by a miracle… Those pictures were posted at the site of the Association of Investigative Journalists of Armenia: www.hetq.am in an one hour or an hour and a half after the events took place.

I was very much surprised when I saw on TV in CNN news block under the heading “I report” the slide-show of the pictures I had taken. No the author’s name or any reference was indicated.

I have written 4-5 letters to CNN at various addresses. However I received no reply – they keep deathly silence.

Could you please advise me on the steps I should take?

I would like to add that my camera was stroke with a truncheon and as a result it operates now with frequent errors, which hinders my work.

As a matter of fact we are running a risk, losing our money, equipment and CNN allows itself use our work just for “thanks a lot”
