Tonight in the city of Rivne, unknown individuals burned the car of Vasyl Bahniy, a trusted representative of presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko in electoral district No. 159. This was reported to "proUA" by the press service of Yushchenko's Central Headquarters.
According to the press service, the car was parked in a courtyard at night when unknown individuals smashed the window and threw an incendiary mixture inside. As a result of the fire that broke out, the car burned completely.
The head of Yushchenko's Rivne regional headquarters, Vasyl Chervoniy, suspects that police officers were involved in this. "This is not simple hooliganism. I am certain that the car was burned by police officers – after all, such incidents have happened in the region before," he recalls. "At that time it was proven that this was the work of the police, in particular Major Dekhtyar, whom the former 'hero' General Frantsuz brought from Ivano-Frankivsk." The people's deputy stated that he has information about a "secret headquarters" of the Rivne MVS [Ministry of Internal Affairs] that is engaged in organizing such provocations.
Meanwhile, in Luhansk yesterday, an employee of Yushchenko's regional headquarters was beaten. According to the headquarters' press service, at around eight in the evening, on her way home, she was attacked by two unknown individuals.
After getting off the bus, the young men followed the woman, and in a dark alley they began insulting her with obscene language, after which they beat her. At the moment, the woman is in a state of shock. According to the victim, the attackers were 16-17 years old.
