The killer unofficially released
Posted by Zoya Shu in Jul 06, 2009, under Uncategorized
When the scandal arose and got not only public condemnation but also that of top officials when the governor of the region was dismissed, chief prosecutor and chief policeman of the region were dismissed and arrested, when the process to abolish the deputy immunity of the (suspected) killer started, the hope appeared that the justice can finally blossom in this country.
But no, it can not.
Saturday’s issue of “Segodnya” newspaper’s first page has two headlines near each other. First is that one will be taken to court if he steals a goat (the new law says that criminal case should be started if the cost of stolen items starts with 60 hrn 50 kopecks). Another headline says that the parliamentary deputy who brutally killed a man (first time in Ukrainian history)…disappeared when his immunity was being abolished.
While the case is under the personal control of the President, the General prosecutor says “I hope that his consciousness will not let him leave Ukraine”… The Chief of SSU mentioned that they didn’t receive any command to stop Lozinsky at the border, but when they do, they will definitely stop him if he attempts to cross it.
No comments…
The question arises: what is this democracy? What are these authorities?
Was it just an attempt for certain political powers to just get some political bonus from the human tragedy?

Zoya, keep it up - good for you!
Part of the problem is that there are people willing to serve Lozinsky.
You posted a story about the woman that was approached by people on behalf of Lozinsky to have her husband take the blame for the murder - for money. She refused. Good for her.
Part of the problem is that a worthless scum like Lozinsky bought his way onto the “party list” to get into Parliament.
A HUGE problem is the absolutely insane system of parliamentary immunity in Ukraine, which puts the scum which comprise the “political elite” in Ukraine above the law.
