Lists of killed, detained, arrested and missing activists and of the injuries to the journalists

KYIV, Ukraine - Feb. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Despite the high-profile release of AutoMaidan leader Dmytro Bulatov, the casualty count in Ukraine’s civil uprising remains unacceptable. Moreover, Yanukovych officials continue to create tales of activists injuring themselves and show their contempt for the country’s citizens by calling torture a ‘scratch’.

 While the official death toll has stabilized, the number of missing continues to rise – a disturbing trend as the militia (there is no normal police force in Ukraine) often refuses to acknowledge that someone is in custody. Nationwide, over 100 journalists and reporters have been injured at the hands of government aggression. The treatment of detainees is appalling by any standard, and the government fails to meet international convention and its own law and regulation.

The toll has a human face:

Deaths:

The government has consistently refused to take responsibility for its actions, and of the 6 confirmed dead or 4 unconfirmed dead, not one has died as a result of government action: not Sergej Nigoyan, who died of a gunshot on Kyiv’s Hrushevskiy Street on January 22, not Pavlo Mazurenko, who died on December 22 after being beaten by the militia, or Bohdan Kalynyak, who died of pneumonia brought on by being doused with a water cannon in sub-freezing temperatures.

Missing:

Where is 72-year-old Ihor Podebryi? Where are the 54 people who have disappeared since the end of November? We are happy to see Dmytro Bulatov back among the living, but where is 20 year-old Yaroslav Menyuk?

Reporters:

While reporters being shot at from point-blank range on Hrushevskiy Street in Kyiv is an outrage in itself, targeting journalists is a practice found wherever the current administration still has its grip on the populace. Press from Poland and Belarus have also been among the casualties. So far, 103 media personnel have been injured.

Detained:

Why was 53-year-old disabled Ivan Kholod held for two days before receiving proper medical care – despite his documents clearly showing that he was registered as handicapped? Where is Ivan Kyuriy, who has not been heard from since January 19? These are just a few of the 231 activists, bystanders and passers-by who need to be accounted for.

The Headquarters of the National Resistance in Kyiv, Ukraine calls on those currently in government to stop hunting down, attacking and hiding its own citizens. A parliamentary committee needs to be established to come to the bottom of the cases and prosecute those who abused their position while attacking peaceful demonstrators and journalists.

Those currently in the government must understand that EuroMaidan will not be disbanded until progress is made on this matter.
