Mass anti-government protests spread across Ukraine's regions in late January 2014. In several cities, including Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, and Cherkasy, protesters faced opposition from local authorities and were attacked by unidentified masked men. In Dnepropetrovsk, over 80 protesters were injured and at least 27 were arrested. In Zaporozhye, around 100 were injured as police and masked men dispersed protesters. In Cherkasy, a protester was severely injured when a flower pot was thrown from a government building, and around 110 people were arrested after storming the building.
The EuroMaidan started in Kyiv on the evening of November 21st 2013. Throughout the subsequent weeks it turned into a true revolution – one that changed Ukraine’s political system and its geopolitical vector. Less known, however, is the fact that EuroMaidan went beyond the Independence Square in Kyiv. It also took place in eastern Ukraine.

Mariupol: Living with conflict and post-conflict prospectsDonbassFullAccess
Mariupol is a large industrial city in the south of the Donetsk region. The city is one of the most important industrial centres in Ukraine, since it is home to two major metallurgical companies. The Port of Mariupol is the largest and most well-equipped port on the Sea of Azov, one of Ukraine’s four biggest ports. After armed conflict broke out in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014, Mariupol became the most important strategic point in the country, a target of clashes between the two opposing sides.
This research looks at the views of the inhabitants of Mariupol and its environs on the local consequences of the conflict, to understand the expectations of citizens, businesses and government officials in terms of minimising the impact of the conflict, and to identify areas of dialogue and cooperation that may be possible among the community, businesses and local authorities in order to address the most pressing local issues.
The research was conducted by the Mariupol Youth Union and commissioned by International Alert with the financial support of the European Union.
UKRAINIANS SEEK ASYLUM IN THE EU: REAL REFUGEES OR ECONOMIC MIGRANTS?Iryna Shevchenko
Since 2014, the number of Ukrainians seeking asylum in the EU has increased significantly. In 2014-2015, over 20,000 Ukrainians applied for asylum, a more than 20-fold increase from 2013. While most applications have been denied, with the most common reason being the ability to relocate safely within Ukraine, some Ukrainians have been granted refugee status or subsidiary protection. There is debate over whether the increase represents genuine refugees or is a means for economic migration, as many asylum seekers are of working age and applications are highest from regions less affected by conflict in Ukraine.

The document summarizes information about forcibly displaced persons (FDPs) who have left Crimea due to its occupation by Russian forces. It estimates that between 3,000-6,000 civilians and 3,100 soldiers have become FDPs. While the Ukrainian government says it will help FDPs, their problems remain unsolved due to a lack of legal status. The Open Dialog Foundation is providing humanitarian assistance to FDPs and calling on authorities to establish mechanisms and protections to address their needs.
This document proposes developing a day/night market in Burabod, Sorsogon with aesthetically pleasing yet inexpensive stalls to rent. It would be built in phases, starting with the front area. The market aims to have a positive impact, not be an eyesore or noise pollutant, and provide affordable livelihoods. Anchoring with attractive, late-night vendors would attract customers. Styling the stalls creatively yet inexpensively could set the tone for the market and neighborhood to have more character and appeal.
This document thanks various supporters of the Instrumental Music Boosters Association, including the principal and director of the vocal music department of Oxon Hill High School, the school administration, the IMBA board of directors, music scholars, parents, family and friends, the benefit concert committee members, student volunteers, and alumni. It expresses appreciation for their invaluable support and hard work.
This document summarizes the events of the Ukrainian revolution that began in late 2013 and escalated in violence in early 2014. It reports that over 100 people were killed and 300 remain missing since the start of the conflict. The document examines three versions of who may have been responsible for shooting protesters, including Ukrainian special forces, Russian involvement, and Ukrainian criminal groups. It calls for an objective international investigation into crimes committed by all sides.
Three key points:
1) At least 70 journalists in Ukraine were injured while reporting on protests since January 19th, with 136 total injuries among media workers.
2) Journalists were attacked not just by police but also unknown assailants, with many attacks appearing deliberately targeted at journalists.
3) In addition to Kiev, journalists reporting in regions like Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Cherkassy, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Simferopol also faced attacks by police and unknown groups while covering protests, with many sustaining injuries.
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine reported heavy artillery fire heard in Donetsk and Luhansk regions and an instance where shots were fired above SMM vehicles preventing their travel through Luhansk. The Mission also observed ceasefire violations including shelling in multiple locations in Donetsk region and fresh craters from mortar and artillery fire along a road west of Donetsk. Commemorative marches were held in multiple Ukrainian cities for civilians killed in Volnovakha.

The document summarizes the occupation and liberation of Severodonetsk, Ukraine by pro-Russian separatist forces in 2014. It describes how separatists illegally seized voter rolls in April 2014 and held a sham referendum on May 11th declaring an independent "Lugansk People's Republic". During the occupation from May to July, the city faced shelling, food and water shortages, and lawlessness as separatists controlled checkpoints and detained and tortured civilians. Witnesses provided evidence of attacks on residential buildings and reports of rape and abuse. The Ukrainian military liberated Severodonetsk on July 22nd, ending the occupation.

The document summarizes the occupation and liberation of Severodonetsk, Ukraine by pro-Russian separatist forces in 2014. It describes how in April 2014, armed pro-Russian groups took control of the city and held an illegitimate referendum on independence. The occupation caused food, water and communication shortages for residents. The separatists also shelled the city with heavy weapons in order to blame the Ukrainian army and extort money. Residents witnessed rapes and saw Russian military vehicles and uniforms. By July 2014, the city was liberated by Ukrainian forces.
The document summarizes the findings of an investigation into the kidnapping and imprisonment of Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko by Russian authorities. It finds that she has been illegally detained and denied her rights. Her Russian lawyers have discovered evidence, including phone records, showing she could not have committed the crimes alleged, as she was elsewhere at the time. A key witness has also recanted their testimony, saying it was given under duress while wounded in terrorist captivity. Overall, the document concludes Savchenko is innocent and being wrongfully imprisoned and used as a political hostage by Russia.

The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine provided updates from several locations in eastern Ukraine and Dnepropetrovsk. In Donetsk, the Mission observed the release of a Ukrainian Armed Forces captive and damage to Donetsk airport. In Makiivka, the Mission saw an armed convoy of military vehicles. In Sviatohirsk, the Mission spoke to recently arrived internally displaced persons from Debaltseve and Avdiivka who were worried about their future. In Dnepropetrovsk, there were two explosive incidents under vehicles being investigated by police.
This section documents numerous violations of human rights and public safety that occurred in Ukraine between November 2013 and March 2014, during the period of violent protests. It describes clashes between protesters and police, as well as acts of vandalism, unlawful seizures of buildings, and training in violent tactics. Right-wing nationalist groups like Pravyi Sektor and Svoboda were involved in many of these illegal and aggressive acts, including attempts to break through police lines, seize government buildings, and destroy a monument to Lenin. The timeline shows a progression over this period towards more widespread violence and disregard for the rule of law.
This document summarizes crimes against journalists during mass protests in Ukraine from January to February 2014. It reports that one journalist was killed and over 130 were injured. Specific incidents are described where journalists were detained, shot at with non-lethal weapons, and beaten by police in Kiev and by "titushky" gangs in other regions. The attacks appeared aimed at preventing journalists from documenting the events. While new authorities have come to power in Ukraine, investigations into these crimes against journalists remain incomplete.
1. A fact-finding team investigated police violence against anti-CAA protesters in Mangaluru, Karnataka on December 19th, 2020. The protests were met with excessive and disproportionate force by police, resulting in 2 deaths and many injuries.
2. Video evidence indicates that the number of protesters did not exceed a few hundred, contradicting police claims of thousands. The police attacked peaceful protesters and a mosque with lathis, tear gas, and bullets.
3. The police action appeared targeted against Muslims, including storming shops, attacking people leaving the mosque, and most victims being Muslim. The fact-finding team demands action against the police, compensation for victims, and a judicial inquiry.
1) In November 2013, the Ukrainian government decided not to sign an EU association agreement, sparking large pro-European integration protests in Kiev.
2) Over several months, the protests in Independence Square (Maidan) grew to involve several million participants. A tent camp was established despite court bans.
3) In late November, police cracked down on protesters, injuring many and radicalizing the movement's demands beyond just European integration to include government resignation. Clashes continued between police and more nationalist groups outside the main protest area.
The document summarizes the findings of a human rights monitoring organization in Eastern Ukraine called "Shore of Peace". It documents over 6,000 victims of the conflict, including 3,030 deaths, 1,379 released from captivity, 278 hostages, and 599 people still missing. The monitoring found evidence of 51 people being shot dead in captivity and 15 being tortured to death. Interviews revealed evidence of extrajudicial killings, torture, and human rights violations against both military and civilian victims. The report provides recommendations to better investigate and prosecute human rights crimes, and to improve support for victims and their families.
The fact-finding report summarizes interviews with residents of Khureji Khas locality in Delhi following a police crackdown on peaceful protests against the CAA, NRC, and NPR. It describes how, on February 26th, police stormed the protest site, beating protestors, destroying cameras, and making arbitrary arrests. Interviewees, like Mohammed Salim's wife, described the impact of arrests and climate of fear. Residents accused the police of targeting women and minorities. The report observes an overwhelming sense of fear in the community and calls for action against police brutality.
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed the evacuation of civilians from the heavily shelled city of Debaltseve. Several hundred civilians, including over 100 children, were able to leave on buses during an agreed temporary eight-hour ceasefire. The Mission also observed military convoys in areas controlled by separatists, and reported explosions in Odessa being investigated as possible bombings.
Monitoring "What is happening to freedom of speech in Ukraine. State censorship and crackdown on dissent"
In Ukraine, people are judged for dissent.
You can get acquainted with the situation with freedom of speech in Ukraine, state censorship and crackdown on dissent, which was prepared by a human rights group "Uspishna Varta".
Ukraine held free and fair elections in 2014 but faced significant human rights issues, including unlawful killings and disappearances related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine against Russian-led forces. The government generally failed to prosecute officials accused of human rights abuses, resulting in impunity. Prisons and detention centers had harsh conditions and reports of torture, and investigations into abuses by Russia in Crimea and eastern Ukraine were incomplete due to lack of control in those areas.
Ukraine's 2017 Human Rights Report discusses several issues, including:
1) Unlawful killings and disappearances related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine between government and Russian-led forces.
2) Torture by police and prison authorities, and reports of torture by both government and Russian-led forces in eastern Ukraine.
3) Harsh and life-threatening prison conditions, including overcrowding, lack of medical care, and physical abuse by guards.
The document summarizes evidence from an investigation into shelling attacks on villages in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border in summer 2014. Witness testimony and satellite images indicate the shelling originated from artillery positions located in Russia near the village of Manotskyy, 500-1000 meters from the Ukrainian border. Ukrainian military positions in a forest camp near Kolesnykivka village, as well as the villages themselves, came under regular shelling between July and September 2014, resulting in damage to civilian homes and the deaths of four Ukrainian border guards. The attacks ceased on September 5th coinciding with the first Minsk ceasefire agreement.

UKRAINE: ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTERS ARRESTED EN MASSE ACROSS UKRAINE’S REGIONS
Mass anti-government protests have spread into most regions of Ukraine. In the south and east of
the country, which traditionally have had a high level of support for the current government,
protesters faced stern opposition from local authorities - the protesters are being dispersed by
special police units, while those detained face criminal proceedings.
A characteristic feature of clashes between protesters and the law enforcement bodies was the
participation of a third party: thousands of young men wearing masks on their faces and brandishing
sticks were beating participants of anti-government protests. At the same time, law enforcement
officials, despite the fact that they had seen these blatantly criminals acts, did not detain the attackers.
Identical cases were reported in the cities of Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Kirovograd, Kharkov,
Nikolaev, Kherson and Odessa.
Dnepropetrovsk Province
On 26 January, 2014, an anti-government protest, attended by several thousand people was held near
the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration (RSA). During the protest, a group of those gathered
was attacked by a group of unidentified masked men with sticks. Many of them were carrying non-
lethal weapons and police shields. All attackers were wearing yellow armbands.
As the column of protesters passed by the fence of the building of the Regional State Administration,
several dozen athletic looking persons wearing yellow armbands and armed with sticks, began to throw
smoke bombs, fireworks, stones and sticks at the protesters, provoking them to react.
According to eyewitnesses, the police did not intervene in the conflict, and in some cases even covered
up for the attackers. Multiple segments of video footage which captured the event, indicate that the
attackers had previously been hiding in the building of the RSA, where they were given sticks and
shields.1,2
According to some reports, at least 80 people3 were injured, and about 10 people were taken to
hospital in serious conditions following the clashes.4 At least four people were injured from non-lethal
weapons5. 20-year-old Yaroslav Sinitsa was beaten by unknown persons near the city stadium as he
was returning home. As a result of the attack, Yaroslav Sinitsa sustained an open head injury and
concussion of the first degree. Moreover, two criminal cases have been initiated against Yaroslav (on
charges of involvement in the riots, as well as preparation of a terrorist attack).6
After the beating of protesters by unidentified men, police began to detain participants of the anti-
government protests. As stated by an MP from the ‘UDAR’ party, Sergey Kaplin, the police detained
random passers-by and deliberately attacked journalists. "There is a hunt for journalists. [Whenever]

Titushki (a new slang word7, representing a group of young athletic men involved in provocations and
hooliganism - Ed.) see a man with a camera, they follow him and try to beat him. They attacked a
journalist, but he managed to hide in a cafe. Titushki walk around the city in large groups and beat
everyone who, in their opinion, resembles a EuroMaidan activist”8, - the deputy stated. A good example
is the story of Leonid Babin’s detention. On 26 January, 2014, he accompanied his son to the shop on
the street when unknown persons seized him, pushed into a paddy wagon and took him to an
unknown destination. His son managed to escape and inform his mother of the incident. Despite the
fact that Leonid hadn’t participated in anti-government protests, he was accused of involvement in the
riots (Article 294 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). A court sanctioned his detention for two months.9

Following Sunday's storming, the authorities of Dnepropetrovsk stepped up security of the RSA – a
barbed wire fence was erected around the building.
On 30 January, 2014, unknown perpetrators attacked attorney Sergey Kulbich, a counsel representing
participants of the storming of the Regional State Administration of 26 January, 2014. As Kulbich was

On 26 January, 2014, activists of the Kremenchug Euromaidan attempted to get into the building of the
city council. In connection with this incident (as of 31 January, 2014), criminal proceedings were
instituted against four activists of the All-Ukrainian Association ‘Maidan’, namely: Vladimir Pylypenko,
Sergey Polyukhovych, Igor Chadyuk and Leonid Kharchenko. Each detainee was accused of making
attempts to seize an administrative building (Article 341 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). On 28

Sumy Province
During 23-24 January, 2014, several thousand people picketed near the building of the Sumy Regional
State Administration, as well as near the building of the regional council. The protesters tried to
prevent the adoption by the Regional Council of a statement in support of the actions undertaken by
President Viktor Yanukovych. On 24 January, 2014, clashes broke out near the regional council.29
Several people were arrested on charges of attempting to seize administrative buildings and block
them (Article 341 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). In total, at least 9 activists (as of 31 January, 2014)
were detained in Sumy: Georgiy Ignatiyev, Vladislav Midushevskiy, Alexander Revenko, Alexander
Repetun, Yuriy Tkachenko, Alexander Tovstukha, Roman Churilov, Oleg Sharyi, Dmitriy Sheremet.30
The Open Dialog Foundation hereby addresses non-governmental human rights organisations,
independent media outlets and international human rights institutions of the European Community,
with an appeal to send observers to the regions of Ukraine in order to monitor the observance of
human rights. In particular, the following actions are necessary:
the presence of international human rights defenders, diplomats and journalists at court
hearings;
participation in meetings with persons who are being remanded in custody or in hospital,
victims and witnesses of the beatings and torture;
participation in meetings with representatives of local authorities, prosecutor’s offices and
law enforcement agencies in order to investigate individual cases of oppression against
activists and journalists.
By means of intervention by human rights defenders and widespread publicity for the violations of
law and incidents of torture exerted on detainees in recent weeks in Kiev, the altering of the
preventive measure for participants of anti-government protests from arrest to house arrest has
been achieved in many cases. Positive results gained from the practices outlined above suggest that
consolidation of efforts will significantly reduce the possibility of innocent people being wrongly
convicted.
