THE Communist Party of Ukraine called today for the release of Volnovakha district committee secretary Sergei Filindash.
They said that Mr Filindash had been kidnapped by armed masked men as soon as the forces of Kiev’s “anti-terrorist operation” had taken back control of the town from rebels.
The communists noted that Mr Filindash’s name had appeared in a report which then acting president Oleksandr Turchynov sent to the minister of justice on May 19 demanding that he ban the Communist Party.
But the report only mentioned that Mr Filindash had led a protest by 40 unarmed people.
The Donetsk party branch said the kidnapping was not an isolated incident.
Party organisation secretary Vyacheslav Kovshun was killed on July 22 at a National Guard checkpoint near Luzhki.
And in the Velikonovoselkovsky area, nationalists attacked the Communist Party district committee and the offices of the communist deputies.
