In response to the recent attacks on women rights activists and ahead of the expected trial of one of those activists, Olena Shevchenko, on March 8, Amnesty International Ukraine’s Director, Oksana Pokalchuk, said:
“By prosecuting Olena Shevchenko, the Ukrainian authorities have underscored just how far they are willing to pander to the far-right groups whose threats and violence marred International Women’s Day protests across the country”.
