European human rights defender urges to curb lawlessness in Kolomyia
Ex-prosecutor of Vermont, USA, head of the human rights organization "Observatory for the Discrimination of Christians in Europe", Ellen Kruger Fantini, got familiarized with the documented evidence of threats and open violence towards believers of the UOC "in front of the police, ignored by the police and, at times, committed by the police".
"We think this is unacceptable, we think that the authorities of Ukraine must bring to justice all those who are responsible for committing violence towards Christians who are simply trying to worship in their own churches," the human rights activist concluded.
