The event took place in the office of the Security Service department in Sloviansk that is occupied by supporters of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Irma Krat was brought to the briefing blindfold; the self-defense supporter remained masked during the conversation with journalists and refused to present himself.

He said Krat was detained on suspicion of subversion. In addition, the self-defense activists claim that she is guilty of staging tortures of Berkut servicemen that were captured by Right Sector activists during unrest in Kiev.
