Lesya Orobets was beaten by deputy from Party of Regions

The message from Lesya Orobets Facebook page:

“Yesterday a Regions animal struck me in the upper chest. It was a powerful blow. This was the second time that was assaulted. The first time was 10 days ago when walking to the Maidan with 3 of my colleagues, we were stopped by 5 Berkut members, and they grabbed and broke my camera, pushed me toward the floor and beat my coworkers.

When the quickly raped YanukFraction was voting on the law on hostages, as it has become their tradition, they did not have 232 votes, there weren’t event 226 votes, so they had had 10-15 voting cards unused. I tried to prevent the fake voting, and it hit me with force in the upper chest into the shoulder (on photo, he is darkish and bald). With a professional, close, bandit style jab. That’s what you get, I had just off my bullet-proof vest in the Parliament of Ukraine.

I admit, I was surprised, in life nobody ever prepared me for hand combat, it was not a requirement for an international lawyer. There was nobody around willing to defend me, no men were to be found.

In time I left, I stabilized, it doesn’t hurt when I breathe any more.

Today went ok , did not even hurt as you breathe.

Next time, going into a session with the Regionsgang, it is best to wear a bullet-proof vest, a helmet, with a walkie-takie, to call backup help. Although the brothers from Self-Defense – Samooborona tell me that one will need a flamethrower, so that they will have a threatening good laugh. They are better at it, but my own field is closer to legislation and international treaty law.

Nobody but you, yes, personally you!”

Friends of the Earth Ukraine analyzes the serious situation faced by the country

Activist Pavlo Khazan, of Friends of the Earth Ukraine, denounced on Wednesday the cooperation between the Police and gangsters against the demonstrations that are taking place in the city of Dnipropetrovsk. He also made reference to tortures in prisons and that the organization has no information about their colleague Vadim Shebanov, arrested on Sunday, during a peaceful protest. Not even Shebanov´s lawyers are allowed go to the prison to find out about Shebanov, said Khazan.

On Monday, Friends of the Earth International demanded the urgent release of Shebanov, who was arrested while participating in a massive demonstration headed to the Regional Administration of Dnipropetrovsk. FoEI also demanded an investigation into the accusations of police abuse at the social protests and the repeal of an antidemocratic package of laws imposed by the government on January 16, which fueled the demonstrations.

Mykola Azarov, Ukrainian Prime Minister, resigned on Tuesday in an attempt to reach peace in the country; a country that has been hit by protests since November, 2013, after the government rejected signing an association agreement with the European Union (EU), in order to strengthen its ties with Russia. Mobilizations are stronger in Kiev, Ukraine´s capital city, but they are taking place in several cities, especially to the West of the country, which has a more European inclination than the East, which is more pro-Russia. According to the opposition, six demonstrators have been killed.
Ukranian President, Víktor Yanúkovich, accepted Azarov´s resignation and yesterday, the parliament repealed the antidemocratic laws.

In interview with Real World Radio, Khazan said that this repeal was an important step, but he expressed his concern over the situation of political prisoners, especially Shebanov, and warned about tortures in prisons and the joint action of the police with criminals against the protests. The demonstrators demand the release of who they consider “political prisoners”.

The laws repealed established stricter sentences for unauthorized demonstrations or the blocking of administrative buildings, they banned setting up tents in the city, punished the circulation of convoys with more than five vehicles and allowed for trials to take place without the presence of the people accused. The laws also banned public assemblies, criminalized international cooperation, deemed NGOs as “foreign agents”, restricted distribution of information and established repressive regulations on the activities of NGOs in general.

Nevertheless, yesterday, Parliament passed another package of four laws replacing the ones repealed. The new legislation includes amendments to the Criminal Code that introduce the charge of liability for denying or justifying crimes committed by fascists and of vandalism against monuments that honor soldiers and civilians who fought against Nazi invaders during World War II.

By the end of the interview with Real World Radio, Khazan thanked for the international solidarity expressed and called on everyone to be alert so that human, civil and political rights are respected in the country.
