Euromaidan: The Dead, The Missing, And The Jailed

People walk around the coffin of Yuriy Verbytskyy, an antigovernment activist, at his funeral in Lviv on January 24.

Since pro-European protests erupted in Kyiv in late November, Ukrainian authorities have jailed dozens of demonstrators and sympathizers. Four civilians have been killed so far, and several are missing.

This list is compiled from media reports, information released by Euromaidan SOS, an online initiative gathering information on police brutality, and reporting by RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service. It may not be exhaustive and will be updated as warranted.

DEAD

Yuriy Verbytskyy, a 50-year-old seismologist and Euromaidan volunteer, was found dead in a forest near Kyiv on January 22. He was abducted from a Kyiv hospital along with opposition activist and journalist Ihor Lutsenko after sustaining an eye injury during a police clash. Lutsenko says both he and Verbytsky, whose hands and clothes bore traces of duct tape, were tortured all night. Police say Verbytskyy died of exposure.

Serhiy Nihoyan, 21, was shot dead on January 22 during a violent clash between riot police and protesters in Kyiv. An ethnic Armenian, Nihoyan was part of Euromaidan's security team. The authorities insist Nihoyan was killed by bullets that are not used by police forces.
