Russian Foreign Ministry ombudsman for human rights, democracy and the rule of law Konstantin Dolgov says the West is shy about the beating of Ukrainian presidential candidate Oleg Tsaryov, Interfax reports.
"There have been reports about the cruel beating of Ukrainian presidential candidate Tsaryov. This is tank democracy a la Maidan in action. Extremists go unpunished. The West is timidly silent. It is much easier to accuse Moscow of all troubles without proof than to curb the rampaging radicals. Here are the customary double standards!" Dolgov tweeted on Tuesday.
"Tanks have been moved against people in the southeast who demand respect for their lawful rights. Are these the inclusive political dialogue and the constitutional reform? What free and democratic elections in Ukraine can we talk about under these circumstances?" he wondered.
Tsaryov's website reported early on Tuesday morning that the politician had been attacked by an aggressive crowd outside of the television station ICTV building in Kiev. "Following the completion of a live broadcast on the ICTV television channel, parliamentarian and Ukrainian presidential candidate Oleg Tsaryov was attacked by an aggressive, armed crowd blockading the TV station's building. It was with great difficulty that security guards managed to rebuff the enraged militants' attack on Oleg Tsaryov," the report said.
The deputy's aide reported Tsariov was severely beaten and is now in serious condition.
