Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Yury Lutsenko has promised that a team of detectives from Kyiv will be sent to Uman in the Cherkasy oblast to investigate the foul attack on a synagogue during the early hours of Dec 21. In a particularly promising development, the National Police have now said that they are investigating the crime under Article 161 of the Criminal Code which prosecutes for inciting enmity, insulting people on the basis of religious convictions, etc. It had earlier been reported that the incident had been qualified merely as ‘hooliganism’.
