Today is Commemoration Day of the political repressions' victims of Soviet regime in the XX-th century in Ukraine.
And at present political repressions continue here. Yuriy Lutsenko, a former minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Ukrainian police), stays in prison since December 26th, 2010 and must stay there till May 26th, 2011 according to court's decision. Though now he's in Kyiv's hospital because of his bad state of health after his lasting voluntary starvation. Today is the 24-th day of his starvation - there is a very dangerous situation for Lutsenko's health, but this starvation in prison was his own protest against the unfair decision of judge.
In the end of 2010 year Y. Lutsenko was arrested by police and was charged with a promotion for his driver in the career. Not bringing ex-minister's guilt yet, the court decided to imprison him till April 26th, 2011. But Yuriy Lutsenko said about such his unlawful imprisonment and then judges declared that unique reason of Lutsenko's staying in the prison is unread criminal affair by himself. So when he'll read all his criminal affair personally, then they'll let him out of the prison. What a reason to be imprisoned, yeh? Y. Lutsenko read his criminal affair till Easter, April 24th, but...The judges just decided to continue his arrest till May 26th. And former minister of Ukrainian police protested and began to starve against this unlawful decision.
...And now mr. Yuriy is in the hospital.
Let God give him health and force.
