Civic activist Kateryna Handziuk is in hospital after being sprayed with acid on 31 July by a young man who was lying in wait for her near her home. Doctors report that she has burns to 30% of her face, head and upper part of the body. This is the latest of several attacks on civic activists over recent months. In most, if not all, cases, the culprits have not been found.
