Rape

I added this to the page:

See also Rape of Iryna Krashkova

On 26 June 2013, two police officers and a taxi driver raped Iryna Krashkova in Vradiivka and then tried to kill her. The victim survived but with severe injuries. Originally, only one police officer and the taxi driver were arrested.

As a result, on 1 July 2013 hundreds of angry protesters stormed the district police department and demanded the arrest of the second officer, who was detained soon after. All three men were sentenced to prison. Since then, "Vradiivka has become a symbol for protests against police crimes and the arbitrariness of the justice system". ref name="dw">Roman Goncharenko, Murder of lawyer Iryna Nozdrovska shakes Ukrainians' faith in justice system, Deutsche Welle, January 5, 2018.</ref> ref name=IUCR291113>Court sentences defendants in Vradiivka rape case to 5 to 15 years in prison, Interfax-Ukraine (29 November 2013)</ref>
