Interpol rejects Ukrainian murder charges against ex-officials

Interpol fails to add ex-President Yanukovych to international wanted list
Yarema: Interpol not placing Yanukovych, Zakharchenko on wanted list
Interpol issued a statement today saying that it had rejected a Ukrainian request to place ex-regime officials, including former President Viktor Yanukovych and former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, on its wanted list for murder.
Ukraine's new government had already faced fierce criticism for failing to gather enough evidence of human rights violations or corruption to obtain an Interpol red notice or support EU sanctions against former regime officials. Serious flaws in their investigation into the Euromaidan killings were exposed in a Reuters special report last October.
The government will suffer a serious blow to its credibility if its law enforcement arm cannot present a convincing case against Yanukovych and other key figures for the deaths of demonstrators, who have become legend in Ukraine as 'the heavenly hundred'.
opnieuw wordt het regime in een slecht daglicht geplaatst, en de vermoedens dat niet Yanukovich verantwoordelijk was voor het bloedbad worden steeds groter. Human rights watch vraagt een internationaal onderzoek, Kiev weigert.
