The Prosecutor General’s Office served one more law enforcer with charges in the persecution of protesters during mass protests in Maidan, Kyiv, in 2013 as the office reported.
“It is established that senior investigator to prevent the protests groundlessly, without any evidence of involvement in the commitment of the crime, illegally detained, supposedly for mass unrest, drew up and signed the notification of suspicion to a partaker of the protest. The militiaman resorted to the forgery in office. Consequently, he filed to the district court of Kyiv groundless appeal on choosing the restrictive measure in the form of arrest toward known to be innocent person and it was illegally granted by the court,” the message said.
The Prosecutor General’s Office noted that law enforcer is suspected in the commitment of a number of criminal offenses, including commitment of the crime on a prior agreement, compilation of knowingly false official documents, power abuse and official abuse, prosecution of known to be innocent person and others.
Currently, it is to decide whether the restrictive measure and termination are required.
Earlier, UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine recommended to abolish the law on amnesty of activists for the investigation of crimes in Maidan in 2013-2014.
