The victim’s associates reported this to Navigator.
The incident occurred on June 28 after his organization staged a rally in front of the regional administration building against corruption.
“Valery was attacked near his house, in Tairovo, near the Vecherniy Baku restaurant.” Two unknown people were beating us with pipes,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
As Didenko’s comrade-in-arms assured us, his life and health are not currently in danger, but the injuries inflicted are quite serious. He is now in the hospital.
At the same time, Didenko himself has already confirmed the fact of the attack on his page on the social network Facebook. “I was injured. On the afternoon of June 28, I was attacked and beaten with metal pipes by two unknown men, whom I did not remember (suddenness played its part). I didn’t have such a plot in mind,” writes the social activist.
“As a result: multiple bruises, hematomas, a 5th degree fracture of the hand, a broken head,” Didenko said, but he does not give personal comments: his phone has been turned off for the second day.
Let us note that yesterday one of the leaders of the Odessa Euromaidan, Sergei Gutsalyuk, called for attention to Didenko, who, in his opinion, is known for “his Ukrainian-friendly, anti-Semitic and anti-state actions.” So far, no one has taken responsibility for the beating of the civil activist.
