The deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Igor Lutsenko on October 10th said that unknown persons threw an explosive device into the apartment of his assistant and coordinator of the nationalist “C14” organisation Sergey Masur. The police initiated a criminal case under the article “attempted murder”.

“In the night from October 9th to 10th unknown persons threw a grenade into the apartment of the coordinator of the ‘C14’ group Sergey Mazur.

As a result of incident the 61-year-old father of the ‘activist’ was injured, he lost a lot of blood, but is in a state condition. At the time of explosion the wife and son of Sergey Mazur were inside the building. Since the apartment is on the second floor, in order to access the window the attackers used a ladder. The police are carrying out an investigation under the article ‘attempted murder’. This was reported by the department of communications of the main department of the National Police in the Kiev region.

Whilst the investigation is ongoing a strengthened operational-investigation group headed by the deputy chief of the regional police was created.

As a reminder, in July suspicion of carrying out a pogrom at the Romani camp in the Lysa Gora in Kiev was handed to Sergey Mazur. On April 21st, he was taken under around-the-clock house arrest. Also, he took part in a number of attacks on public activists, human rights activists, and people with the alternative point of view. In particular, on September 28th Sergey Mazur was present when the lawyer Andrey Gozhy and the journalist Andrey Laktionov were assaulted at the courtroom in Zhytomyr during hearings connected to the case of the journalist Vasily Muravitsky.”
