On Nov. 8, nearly 30 friends and relatives of people killed during the 2014 EuroMaidan Revolution and activists came to protest outside President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office in Kyiv. The protesters were objecting to the potential collapse of investigations into mass murder committed by security forces during the revolution and other related cases.
The victims’ families have long feared that the cases might languish into non-existence. But the dismissal of Sergii Gorbatuk, a top investigator working on the cases, on Oct. 23 has increased their concerns. They are also worried about the cases’ scheduled transfer to the State Investigation Bureau this month.
EuroMaidan families have expressed concern about Viktor Mysyak, the prosecutor charged with overseeing the investigators in the cases at the Buearu. They have previously accused him of sabotaging the investigations. He denies this.
