Chernihiv All-Ukraine Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS and HIV+Children Hospital were burnt down on October 19. The fire happened at night.
The police advance arson as a preliminary version.
“The police have no doubts that it was arson as there were two fires at night: one was at 2:00 am and the second one at down. Everything was burnt away: furniture, PCs, office equipment, documents,” said a representative of the organisation.
According to Inna Pyvovar, AUNPL HIV/AIDS regional representative, the office was rented out by the Chernihiv Communal Property Fund.
“However, we have been claiming the disposal of it with a private entrepreneur for three years. Having failed to get municipal protection, the AUNPL HIV/AIDS officials were forced to appeal to a court,” said Pyvovar.
The All-Ukrainian Network of People Living with AIDS/HIV demands unbiased investigation of this case and brining to criminal account guilty participants committed it.
