IF THIS MESSAGE APPEARS IN MY NEWS FEED, THEN THEY CAME FOR ME… – this could be written by any anti-junta activist living in “democratic Ukraine”. Today this message was posted by Vitaly Skorokhodov, an intensive care doctor and blogger. Let us try to save him by our joint efforts.
3 hours ago Eva Merkurieva, a Ukrainian blogger and independent journalist, published an urgent appeal to help Vitaliy Skorokhodov, one of her friends in Facebook:
“An hour ago a very nice man – Vitaly Skorohodov, a doctor with 23 years of medical practice, who worked in intensive care and saved the lives of hundreds of his compatriots, phoned me. He told me that they were breaking the door of his apartment. The Security Service thugs came to arrest him. He left a short message on Facebook:
“WARNING !!!
If this message appears in my news feed, it means they have come for me – the Right Sector thugs or the SBU (the Security Service workers). Today all independent journalists and bloggers in Ukraine that oppose the junta are being erased. I hope I’ll have time to post it on Facebook. In that case, if I am not killed on the spot, than I am arrested and thrown in the dungeons of the SBU. With your help I hope to be released. Please spread this news as widely as possible and also share the information about repressions against journalists in Ukraine for the people in other countries like Russia to see.”
Vitaly is also a journalist and blogger. He lives in Western Ukraine, in the Rivne region, he has been writing articles in the course of many years. He never took up arms. The only reason why he is being persecuted are his convictions. In Ukraine now, because of one’s convictions they [secret services and fascists] can break into houses, arrest people, do whatever they want. At the moment they are ransacking the house of Vitaly. None of the Security Service workers that broke into his house told me why he [Vitaly] was persecuted. But no other reason apart from his activities as a journalist and blogger exist. He is a very honest and intelligent man, an expert on public safety in the field of medicine. One of those, who never supported the coup in Ukraine, an Anti-fascist.
I ask everyone to share this short message. Perhaps your participation in this will prevent this person’s incarceration, save his life and health.”
