PART 4 A YEAR AFTER: MAIN VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN CRIMEA Cases with evidence of forced abduction One of the most high-proR le cases is the kidnapping and subsequent killing of Reshat Ametov, a Crimean Tatar, taken on 3 March at the central square of Sim- feropol by unidentiR ed men in camouU age uniforms (see the previous section). Apart from Reshat Ametov’s case, several cases with identiR ed evidence of forced disappearance have been recorded since March 2014. Ivan Bondarets and Valery Vashchuk Two Euromaidan activists, Ivan Bondarets (born in 1990) and Valery Vashchuk (born in 1985) disappeared in early March 2014 in Simferopol. The last time they got in contact with their relatives was on March 7, at about 7:30. Vashchuk called his sister and said that he and Bondartsev had arrived in Simferopol, and complained about documents checking and personal search at the station, he also said that “the coordinator would come for them”, and then they would decide whether to stay in Crimea or return to Kyiv, to Maidan. Valery also told his sister that they came on to the platform with unfolded Ukrainian U ag in their hands. Neither of them got in touch with anyone after that. Both activists were members of pro-Ukrainian movements. For two years already there is no information on their whereabouts. Both have young children in Rivne. Vasily Chernysh Vasily Chernysh (born in 1978), a resident of Sevastopol, also disappeared in March 2014. According to his relatives, he had earlier been a member of the Security Department of Ukraine, and participated in AutoMaidan movement. He was a Ternopil-native, and in Sevastopol he spoke Ukrainian. 66
