Russian TV crew slammed for sneaking into Skripal hospital
LONDON — The British hospital treating poisoned spy Sergei Skripal on Wednesday accused a Russian TV crew of “appalling behaviour” for sneaking into the facility overnight.
Footage posted online by British newspapers showed a reporter from the REN TV network walking along corridors at Salisbury District Hospital early Wednesday and commenting on the apparent lack of security.
The hospital said in a statement that “this footage shows appalling behaviour on the part of these Russian journalists — approaching staff in the middle of the night with no warning and without asking for any permission.”
It said “any attempt to harass, intimidate or cause distress to any of our staff or patients is absolutely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”
