the provocation of Ukrainian Security Service - beginning of the "witch
hunting"?

Search of the KSRD activist flat

Persecution of the worker activists is getting the everyday rule and standart
for security services in CIS countries. Ukraine doesn't stay behind her "sister
Russia" in this uneasy cause. For the moment the criminal case of some
mysterious terrorist organisation is being executed and the first investigatory
actions are being  carried out. One of the victims of these actions is appeared
to be Yurij Dokukin, an activist of the Coordinational Council of the Working
Movement (KSRD) and leading journalist of the "Working Action" Bulletin. We give
the brief subscription of the search, which resulted in the confiscation of all
equipment, which was present at that moment of search in the Yurij's flat
including considarable quantity of printed and hand-written documents.

Ukraine Security Service (SBU) or more precisely Regional SBU Office in
Nikolayevskaya obl. started the criminal case #202, article 258, item 4 of the
criminal code ("Creation of the terrorist group or terrorist organisation -
punished by imprisonment for a term from 8 to 15 years").

This brought up the comming 6 SBU officials to the Yurij Dokukin's flat on the
15-th of December. Later one more colleague joined them. The search lasted till
the 4:30 in thr morning of the 16th of December and two witnesses were present
during the search. While searching computer equipment (right up to mouses and
flexes), about one hundred of floppy disks, different newspapers  (preferences
were given to  the "Working Action" KSRD Bulletin, the newslettes of Ukrainian
Kommunist Workers Union "Catalyst", newspaper of Russian Maoist Party
"RMP-news") and other papers were seized.

Here in Ukraine we still remember the disgraceful "mushroomers case": after the
crudely framed-up charge in "attempt of coup d'etat" SBU brought  criminal
proceedings against sickly old men. One of them was sentenced to the long-terme
imprisonment at the colony of strict regime. These days new wide provocation is
started. But on the role of "terrorists"young and strong activists are
appointed. And the authorities will not stand on ceremony with them.

This is call to all honest left and worker activists to join the campaign of
solidarity with the prosecuted Ukraine working activists. Below are contacts of
law-enforcement agencies and institutions related to the case.

Here is the example of the letter of protest:

We are deeply indignant and shocked at provocative actions of SBU towards the
worker activist of KSRD Yurij Dokukin. it is apparent  that SBU attemt to
involve the left journalist and working organisation KSRD in the dirty and
framed-up case of mythical terrorist organisation. Under the pretext of the
search at Yurij Dokukin's flat in fact the robbery took place, all computer
equipment which was in the flat  at the moment - computers and printers - were
seized. We consider this case is the beginning of "witch hunting" campaign in
Ukraine. We demand to stop the persecutions of worker activists.
