Dmytro Rossoshansky has been freed early “on amnesty” despite being sentenced without the right of amnesty for killing the sister of savagely murdered lawyer and human rights activist, Iryna Nozdrovska. The family learned of this the same day that Yuri Rossoshansky, the convicted man’s father, claimed in court that he had not murdered Nozdrovska, and had confessed to the crime under police pressure. Nozdrovska was almost certainly killed because of her determination to stop the man who had killed her sister, Svitlana, from escaping justice, and Rossoshansky’s secretive release is profoundly disturbing.
