‘UKRAINE AFTER MAIDAN’
New OSC website shines much-needed light on state & right-wing repression
Odessa Solidarity Campaign staff members and friends have launched an important new project to keep the world informed about critical developments in Odessa and Ukraine.
The website Ukraine after Maidan: Right Wing Violence & State Repression tracks acts of violence and intimidation carried out by right-wing radical groups in Ukraine as well as of acts of repression against basic civil liberties and the persecution of the opposition by the Kiev government. Much of the world has no idea about how bad things are today in Ukraine. To counter this lack of information, the new site features translations of articles, full or partial, from local Ukrainian media outlets, including the following topics:
- Arrests & Searches
- Freedom of Speech & Press
- Selective Justice
- Intimidation & Violence by Radicals
- Radicals’ Pressure on Government
- Russophobia & Ultra-nationalism
