Deputy: Thousands of people arrested in the South-East remain hostage from Poroshenko
Kyiv, September 08 (PolitNavigator, Yuriy Kovalchuk) – During negotiations on the fate of Donbass, we must not forget about the thousands of activists in the South-East who were arrested and are still behind bars, despite the fact that they never took up arms, but only They just had their own political views.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Markov stated this on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

He was skeptical about the prospects for the exchange of prisoners of war between Kiev and Novorossiya. “Today, more than a thousand people who killed and shot civilians will return home and will be greeted as heroes,” Markov said.
“I have a question: in addition to Donbass, there is the rest of Ukraine, on whose territory there are thousands of arrested people who did not take up arms. They simply took to the streets to be heard, but now they are facing huge sentences. Trials are already underway, including against a girl who simply posted a post on the Internet. Are we going to raise this issue somehow? Because exchanging 200 militias for more than a thousand militants is somehow not equivalent,” the politician argues.
