Amnestie Internasionaal vra ondersoek na Kiëf-wetgewer

Amnestie Internasionaal (AI) het ‘n ondersoek gevra na die misbruik van mag deur pro-Kiëf vigilantes soos die Oekraïense ultra-radikale LP Oleg Lyashko. Die organisasie het getuienis van gevalle van ontvoering en fisiese geweld teen slagoffers.

Lyashko se sogenaamde “ondervragings” is op sy amptelike YouTube bladsy te siene. Die menseregtewaghond het ‘n verslag uitgereik wat eis dat die wetgewer aanspreeklik vir sy dade gehou moet word.

Amnesty International het sy kommer met die Oekraïense owerhede gedeel oor die ontvoerings en mishandeling van individue in die hele streek, luidens ‘n verklaring.

Lyashenko is ‘n voormalige presidensiële kandidaat wat berug is vir sy anti-Russiese uitsprake.

“Oleg Lyashko is veronderstel om ‘n wetgewer te wees, maar hy het die wet in sy eie hande geneem,” het die verklaring gesê. “Eer aan die Oekraïne, dood aan die teenstanders is sy strydkreet.”

Die wetgewer word altyd vergesel deur gewapende jong mans in militêre klere as hy reis en rekords van sy ontvoerings en mishandeling opneem vir Facebook om daarmee te spog.

Die video’s wys mishandeling wat in stryd is met “die reg op ‘n billike verhoor, vryheid en veiligheid van die persoon, en die reg om nie aan marteling of ander soort mishandeling onderwerp te word nie,” sê AI.

    Uit: A Jewish Israel, 26 Mei 2014:
    “After the exit poll results were revealed, national Ukrainian deputy Nicolay Tomenko called the successes of Oleg Lyashko and Vadim Rabinovich the ‘biggest surprises of the elections’. According to him, Rabinovich’s accomplishment can be explained by the latter’s ‘harsh but intelligent approach’.

    “He was saying the same things as Lyashko, but he did so is an aesthetic, intelligent fashion. He explained what was taking place in language that was accessible to all,” explained Tomenko. It’s safe to say that not only his outstanding character traits and speaking ability contributed to Rabinovich’s success, but two additional factors: the active participation of Ukrainian Jews in the protests on Maidan and the warm reception it received, and the strong patriotic position of the governor of the Dnepropetrovsk region, Igor Kolomoisky. These factors contribute to a positive image of Jews in Ukraine and to a lack of anti-Semitism.

    “The presidential elections demonstrated that the Ukrainian people have risen to a new level of social awareness following Maidan. Vadim Rabinovich was able to prove that being Jewish doesn’t prevent you from earning a large degree of popularity amongst the Ukrainian public.”
