Ukraine IDAHO Report 2012

Threats from radical right-wing groups and fears for the safety of participants forced the cancellation of a march in Kiev to mark IDAHO 2012 less than an hour before it was due to start. It was the only public event the LGBT community in Kiev had planned for the Day.
It was reported that up to 2000 people were intending to protest against the march. However, the cancellation did not stop violence from occurring. A group of men wearing surgical masks attacked an activist, leaving him with multiple contusions and cuts. Footage of the attack was captured by nearby journalists, sparking international shock and outrage.
