The investigation needs to be through, sincere and SOLVE the problems created for the Ukraine people.

Mr. Bulatov was not a martyr, he was a complaintant. He didn't seek to be crucified in punitive measures to oppress the people, he wanted the government to understand the problems of the people and why they were important. This torture is about as disgusting as it comes. Thank god he is alive.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Police on Friday opened an investigation (click here) into the kidnapping of an opposition activist, who said he was held captive for more than a week and tortured in the latest in a string of mysterious attacks on anti-government protesters in the two-month-long political crisis.

Dmytro Bulatov, 35, a member of Automaidan, a group of car owners that has taken part in the protests against President Viktor Yanukovych, went missing Jan. 22.

Bulatov was discovered outside Kiev on Thursday. He said his kidnappers beat him severely, drove nails into his hands, sliced off a piece of ear and cut his face. He said he was kept in the dark all the time and could not identify the kidnappers. After more than a week of beatings, they eventually dumped him in a forest.

"They crucified me, they nailed down my hands. They cut off my ear, they cut my face. There isn't a spot on my body that hasn't been beaten," Bulatov said on Channel 5 television. "Thank God, I am alive."

Bulatov's face and clothes were covered in clotted blood, his hands were swollen and bore the marks of nails....

The torture of people is not going to suppress, oppress or intimidate them. Torture increases their resolve to continue their oppositional determination. Once there is this level of hatred of people, where does it go next? Rounding up the people that are hated to attempt to return order the government demands in their willingness to be 'the leader that can get it done.' That isn't going to solve a country's problems, it will make it worse, far worse.

European's especially know the pains of being sheep to a power structure. They understand it all to well. They aren't going to lie down and die for the purpose of a 'stable state.'

The people have to have a voice honored by their government. Frequently, unions can be that voice. But, the people have to have the ability to organize in safety of their own opinions. Debate reveals THE TRUTH and brings about an understanding of the best way to solve a country's problem and find a path forward.

A great leader is one that honors their people, seek their best outcomes and provide the potential to a life worth living.
