Halya Coynash: Vasylkiv terrorist trial a farce
The verdict is awaited in the trial of three men charged, most bizarrely, with “terrorism” over an alleged plot to blow up a monument to Vladimir Lenin. Problems in understanding how removal of a monument can be classified as terrorism are exacerbated by one further detail: the monument had already been dismantled which the men knew. There is also an intercepted phone call which indicates that the security service [SBU] knew that they knew.
