International human rights activists demanded that the authorities of Ukraine to release all political prisoners and stop repressions in Odessa. Action of solidarity with inhabitants of Odessa took place in 18 cities in the U.S. and Europe. Organizers have handed over to the Ukrainian Embassy letter calling for an end to harassment of relatives of people killed in the house of trade unions.
American rights activists in the Embassy of Ukraine are not happy. Ukrainian diplomats to the conversation sent to the Embassy of the commandant of the guard. A letter of protest to the commandant, the door immediately slammed. The tragedy of 2 may 2014, when dissenters were burned in the House of trade unions, has not been investigated. Then 48 people were killed, hundreds were injured. Now there have been increasing signals that the Ukrainian authorities pursue relatives of people killed there.
American human rights activists cite the example of the arrest of 65-year-old opposition leader Alexander Kushnarev, whose son died in the House of trade unions. In prison, the activist of the movement "Kulikovo field" 68-year-old Anatoly Slobodyanik. Them accused of plotting the kidnapping of the Deputy Goncharenko from the bloc of Petro Poroshenko. Human rights activists in the US suspect that the case was fabricated.
Letters with demands to Poroshenko, the defenders gave in Ukrainian embassies and consulates in 18 cities in the U.S. and Europe. Call to diplomatic missions pickets and rallies every year on April 10. On this day in 1944, Odessa was liberated from the Nazis. After 70 years and 1 month neo-Nazis burned the House of trade unions. Unnecessary memories and uncomfortable topic for the Ukrainian Embassy and the Ukrainian authorities as a whole. But the hope that the investigation somehow will forget, not justified. The fact that the investigation made no headway for 3 years and no results, already recognized in the OSCE, and the UN.
