There are probably thousnads of such cases acreoss Ukraine. I know personally of one, where the detainee was incarcerated almost four years without trial in eastern Ukraine ..(.and then mysteriously temporarily released )destroying his mother's health and resulting in her hospitalisation. Every time she travelled to see him she had to borrow money, every time she went to see him there were numerous bribes to be paid, and every time she went to see him she couldn't see him without a lawyer and so there was a lawyer to be paid ...and so on and so on.... Good honest people. I do not think this case of the young man with an American father should be singled out for specific attention just because an accident of birth gives him a non-Ukrainian parent. If this proves to be the case then it will be very very unfair and a travesty as well as tragedy for those hundreds if not thousands corruptly incarcerated and who have no voice to speak for themselves.
