In Kyiv, former Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Gogilashvili attacked human rights activist, volunteer Artem Osipyan. The victim reported the incident on his Facebook page..
“He was armed, with some brigade of the same armed people, I was unarmed, so I could not defend myself because of the understandable risks. He didn’t enter into a conflict, but he was aggressive and hit me in the face,” Osipyan writes..
The blow was weak and was accompanied by threats against the volunteer. Osipyan plans to write a statement to the police and get records from the store's cameras. There is a witness to the attack.
“It is a pity that during the war, public figures and volunteers are not protected from idiots who were given weapons and who have a grudge against such figures. Internal conflicts are not the time now. But I have to record this absurdity publicly,” he added..

Osipyan wrote about the work of the so-called rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addicts. Patients of the centers did not receive real help, at the same time they were subjected to bullying and abuse. In addition, there were abducted people who did not have addiction.
The largest in Ukraine was the network of rehabilitation centers of the International Anti-Drug Association, which worked in close cooperation with domestic law enforcement agencies. One of its leaders was Alexander Gogilashvili.
