Isiboshwa sikanembeza kanye ne-pacifist uRuslan Kotsaba ukhuluma ngesimo sakhe e-USA.

Umbhalo wevidiyo: Sawubona, igama lami nginguRuslan Kotsaba futhi lena indaba yami. Ngingumlwi wempi wase-Ukraine eNew York City, futhi ngifuna ukukhoseliswa e-United States-hhayi mina kuphela, kodwa kubo bonke abaphikisi bempi base-Ukraine. Ngahamba e-Ukraine ngemva kokuquliswa icala futhi ngaboshelwa ukukhiqiza ividiyo ye-YouTube ecela amadoda ase-Ukraine ukuthi enqabe ukulwa empini yombango eMpumalanga ye-Ukraine. Lokhu kwakungaphambi kokuhlasela kweRussia–ngaleso sikhathi uhulumeni wase-Ukraine wayephoqa amadoda afana nami ukuthi alwe futhi abulale abantu bakubo ababefuna ukuzihlukanisa ne-Ukraine. Kuvidiyo, ngithe ngincamela ukuya ejele kunokuba ngibulale ngamabomu abantu bakithi eMpumalanga ye-Ukraine. Abashushisi babefuna ukungibopha iminyaka engu-13. Inkantolo yagcina ingikhiphe nginecala lokuvukela umbuso ngo-2016. Noma kunjalo, ngagqunywa ejele isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ngenxa yempi. Namuhla, isimo siye saba sibi kakhulu-Ngemva kokuhlasela kweRussia, i-Ukraine yamemezela umthetho wezempi. Amadoda aphakathi kweminyaka engu-18 nengu-60 kudingeka ngokomthetho ukuba abhalisele ukuya empini—labo abenqabayo babhekana neminyaka engu-3-5 ejele. Lokhu akulungile. Impi ayilungile. Ngicela ukukhoseliswa futhi ngicela ukuthi ungithumelele ama-imeyili e-White House. Ngiphinde ngicele abaphathi beBiden ukuthi bayeke ukuhlomisa i-Ukraine ngempi engapheli. Siyayidinga idiplomacy futhi siyayidinga manje. Ngiyabonga ku-CODEPINK ngokungikhuthaza ukwabelana ngendaba yami futhi ngibonge kubo bonke abamele impi. Ukuthula.

Isendlalelo esivela ku-Marcy Winograd we-CODEPINK:

U-Ruslan wanikwa isikhundla sokuba ngumbaleki eNew York, kodwa ngesizathu esithile akakayitholi inombolo yokuphepha komphakathi noma amanye amadokhumenti adingekayo ukuze athole umsebenzi ozuzisayo.

Nakhu esihlokweni ngoRuslan, owashushiswa e-Ukraine ngenxa yokwenqaba ukulwa nabantu bakubo eMpumalanga ye-Ukraine phakathi nempi yombango eyandulela ukuhlasela kweRussia. Ngemva kokuthumela ividiyo ye-YouTube ngo-2015 ukuze azwakalise ukuma kwakhe okumelene nempi nokunxusa ukuba kudube ukusebenza kwezempi e-Donbas, uhulumeni wase-Ukraine wayala ukuba aboshwe, abekwe icala lokuvukela umbuso nokuvimbela amasosha, futhi aquliswe icala. Ngemva kwezinyanga eziyishumi nesithupha evalelwe ngaphambi kokuqulwa kwecala, inkantolo igwebe uRuslan iminyaka engu-3.5 ebhadla ejele, isigwebo kanye necala elachithwa ngesikhathi sokudlulisa icala. Kamuva, umshushisi kahulumeni wathi icala liphinde livulwe futhi uRuslan waliqulisa futhi. Nokho, ngaphambi nje kokuhlasela kweRussia, icala elamenyezelwa kabanzi ngoRuslan lahoxiswa. Ukuze uthole i-akhawunti enemininingwane eminingi yokushushiswa kukaRuslan, skrolela ekupheleni kwale imeyili.

Sicela usekele imizamo ka-Ruslan yokufuna indawo yokukhosela kanye nenombolo yokuphepha yomphakathi ukuze aphinde asebenze. URuslan uyintatheli nomthwebuli wezithombe.

NgoJanuwari 2015, uRuslan Kotsaba washicilela ku-YouTube umlayezo wevidiyo oya kuMongameli wase-Ukraine onesihloko esithi "Isenzo se-inthanethi "Ngiyenqaba ukuhlanganisa", lapho akhuluma khona ngokumelene nokubamba iqhaza ezingxabanweni zaseMpumalanga ye-Ukraine futhi wabiza abantu ukuthi balahle impi. inkonzo ngenxa kanembeza. Ividiyo ibe nempendulo yomphakathi ebanzi. U-Ruslan Kotsaba wamenywa ukuba enze izingxoxo futhi abambe iqhaza ezinhlelweni ze-TV ngabezindaba base-Ukraine nabangaphandle, okuhlanganisa neziteshi ze-TV zaseRussia.

Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, amaphoyisa ophiko lwezokuphepha lwase-Ukraine asesha umuzi kaKotsaba futhi ambopha. Ubekwe icala lobugebengu ngaphansi kwengxenye 1 ye-Article 111 ye-Criminal Code of Ukraine (i-high treason) kanye nengxenye 1 ye-Article 114-1 ye-Criminal Code of Ukraine (ukuvimbela imisebenzi engokomthetho ye-Armed Forces yase-Ukraine namanye amasosha. ukwakheka).

Ngesikhathi kuqhubeka uphenyo nokuqulwa kwecala, uKotsaba uchithe izinsuku ezingu-524 ejele. I-Amnesty International yamqaphela njengesiboshwa sikanembeza. Amacala abekwe wona abesekelwe kakhulu emahlebezini, ekuqaguleni naseziqubulweni zezepolitiki ezibhalwe njengobufakazi bofakazi abangabazi. Umshushisi ucele inkantolo ukuthi igwebe uRuslan kotsaba iminyaka engu-13 ebhadla ejele ngokushaqwa kwempahla, okuyisijeziso esicacile ngokusobala esingalingani. I-UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission e-Ukraine ikhuluma ngecala laseKotsaba embikweni walo wango-2015 nowezi-2016.

Ngo-May 2016, inkantolo yedolobha lase-Ivano-Frankivsk yakhipha isigwebo secala. NgoJulayi 2016, iNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala Yesifunda sase-Ivano-Frankivsk yamkhulula ngokuphelele uKotsaba futhi yamkhulula enkantolo. Nokho, ngo-June 2017, iNkantolo Ephakeme Eyisipesheli Yase-Ukraine yakuchitha lokho kukhululwa futhi yabuyisela icala ukuze liqulwe kabusha. Iseshini yale nkantolo yenzeke ngaphansi kwengcindezi evela kubalandeli benhlangano i-C14 abafuna ukugqunywa ejele base behlasela uKotsaba nabangani bakhe ngaphandle kwenkantolo. I-Radio Liberty ibike ngale ngxabano ngaphandle kwenkantolo e-Kyiv ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Icala lase-Kotsaba: Ingabe Izishoshovu Zizoqala Ukudubula?”, ebiza ama-radicals aphiko lwesokudla “izishoshovu”.

Ngenxa yokushoda kwamajaji, ingcindezi enkantolo kanye nokuziphendulela kwamajaji ezinkantolo ezehlukene, ukucutshungulwa kwecala likaKotsaba kuhlehliswe izikhathi eziningi. Njengoba leli cala selidonse unyaka wesithupha, yonke imigomo ephusile yokucutshungulwa kwaleli cala yephuliwe futhi isaqhubeka nokuphulwa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi, lapho ikhansela ukuhoxiswa kwecala ngenxa yezizathu zenqubo, iNkantolo Ephakeme Ekhethekile yase-Ukraine yaveza isidingo sokutadisha bonke ubufakazi obethulwe umshushisi, kuhlanganise nalokho okuthiwa ubufakazi bokuthi izinkantolo zecala lokuqala nelokudlulisa amacala. kuthathwa njengokungafaneleki noma okungamukeleki. Ngenxa yalokhu, ukuqulwa kwamacala amanje eNkantolo Yesifunda YaseDolobheni laseKolomyisky esifundeni sase-Ivano-Frankivsk sekudonse iminyaka emibili nengxenye, okwathi phakathi naso kwaphenywa ofakazi abangu-15 kwabangu-58 kuphela. Iningi lofakazi aliveli enkantolo ngamasamanisi, ngisho nangemva kwesinqumo senkantolo sokungeniswa ngenkani, futhi kuyaziwa ukuthi bangabantu nje, ngisho izakhamuzi zendawo, ezifakaza ngaphansi kwengcindezi.

Izinhlangano ezilwela amalungelo abantu zifaka ingcindezi enkantolo, zihlale zenza imibhalo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ezibukela phansi igunya lezobulungiswa, eziqukethe inhlamba nokunyundela uKotsaba futhi zifuna izenzo zobudlova. Cishe kuzo zonke izikhathi zenkantolo, isixuku esinolaka sizungeza inkantolo. Ngenxa yokuhlaselwa kukaKotsaba, ummeli wakhe kanye nomama wakhe ngomhla zingama-22 kuMasingana kanye nokuhlasela kwangomhla zingama-25 kuJuni lapho alimala khona iso, inkantolo yamvumela ukuthi abambe iqhaza ekude ngezizathu zokuphepha.
