Why the Ministry of Internal does not have enough bracelets for Kharkiv \u2018Berkut\u2019 troops, why they keep to the rules of house arrest only after interference of the society and advocates? How did border control took place and why there were no instructions regarding border crossing by people under investigation,\u201d said Volodymyr Bondarchuk, head of the NGO \u201cFamily of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred\u201d, son of the killed Serhii Bondarchuk, during a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Four former Kharkiv Berkut troops \u2013 Vitalii Honcharenko, Oleksandr Kostiuk, Vladyslv Masteha and Artem Voilokov \u2013 fled to Russia on April 13, according to their lawyer. In their statement they said they were going to apply for a Russian citizenship and will follow the trial from the Russian territory. This is the fourth case. Suspects of Yurii Verbytskyi\u2019s kidnapping and murder, commander of Kyiv Berkut company Dmytro Sadovnyk and Kharkiv \u201ctitushky\u201d (thugs for hire) have already fled to Russia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Families and lawyers of the Heavenly Hundred emphasized that dragging the cases as long as possible looks as if it was done on purpose to distract attention from them. In Honcharenko\u2019s case, court session did not happen twice because he did not give consent to video conference session. Nevertheless, the third time public activists weren\u2019t there, the session took place and he was released. Families of the Heavenly Hundred knew nothing about this session. \u201cInvestigation officer told me personally that there will be no session, because the case was submitted to the court,\u201d says Halyna Didych, widow of the killed Serhiy Didych (Honcharenko is accused of murdering him too). \u201cThe court did its best to let Honcharenko flee to Russia safely. There were no preventive measures for him. There is another question of how the ATO veteran\u2019s identification card didn\u2019t prevent Honcharenko from going to Russia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This incident gives ground for suspecting that all the other suspects will flee to Russia in the nearest future. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem to be a coincidence. It is a set scheme \u2013 nobody detains them till the issue becomes less acute, then they are detained, then somehow there are no grounds for them to be kept in prison, then they are put under house arrest and then it happens so that they flee. I\u2019m not accusing anyone, I\u2019m just thinking,\u201d said Volodymyr Holodniuk, deputy head of the NGO \u201cFamily of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred\u201d, father of the killed Ustym Holodniuk. \u201cIt cannot be happening without the consent of authorities. If there is no adequate report and evaluation of these events, we will say that public officers are also involved with these people\u2019s escape,\u201d emphasized Bondarchuk. One of Berkut officers said once that \u201cany authorities need people like us\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, families of the Heavenly Hundred demand explanations from authorities as to why security officials suspected of crimes during the Revolution of Dignity still keep their offices, and why judges who made illegal decisions have never been punished. \u201cThat\u2019s a huge question to the minister Avakov and his counsels, as the accused and suspects still serve in law enforcement agencies. At the same time, there are no internal investigations conducted by order of the General Prosecutor\u2019s Office. On the contrary, we see many cases when their chiefs make arrangements to reinstate them in the office. This happened in Honcharenko and Kyiv Berkuts\u2019 case,\u201d said Vitalii Kuzmenko, a casualty of November 30 events. \u201cWe demand a meeting with the minister Avakov and want him to answer all our questions in person. Lawlessness causes new crimes,\u201d said the mother of the killed Maksym Shymko.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Relatives of the Heavenly Hundred appealed to the General Prosecutors\u2019 Office requesting close monitoring of all cases and place of stay of the suspects. They called upon civic activists to join the court sessions monitoring, as it is only control and transparency that can secure some progress. \u201cThere are cases where there is almost no audience \u2013 as we, the families, are not strong enough to attend all sessions,\u201d explained Bondarchuk. Court\u2019s calendar is available on the website of the NGO \u201cFamily of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred\u201d and Advocate Consulting Group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is reactionism. We need to join the efforts of families, media, citizens who hope to achieve something, and develop a counteraction mechanism,\u201d emphasized Vitalii Tytych, member of Advocate Consulting Group. Vitalii Kuzmenko said that a statement will be given to the qualification committee regarding lawyer Valentyn Rybin\u2019s violation of legal ethics. They will also report to the police on his threats to one of the November 30 casualties. \u201cWe believe that some of his actions should be handled by the Security Service of Ukraine,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Families of the Heavenly Hundred want the competent authorities to explain how four more Berkut officers suspected of murder of protesters could manage to escape to Russia. \u201cWe want a report from competent authorities \u2013 from the Ministry of Internal and General Prosecutor\u2019s office, how it could happen.
