Correction

In the August 13 issue of The Ukrainian Weekly, Zenon Zawada figuratively stated that no arrests were made during the first six months of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko's administration. In fact, the government led by Mr. Yushchenko did arrest two high-profile politicians - Donetsk Oblast Council Chair Borys Kolesnykov in April 2005 and Ivan Rizak, former chairman of the Zakarpattia Oblast Administration, in May 2005. Dozens of other arrests were made on the local level in relation to the election fraud committed in the 2004 election campaign.
