UKRAINE Insight recorded 2 cases of psychological violence from 2016, one committed by a medical professional and one by an organised hate group. A trans man started to receive threats about rape and murder because of his trans status. Some extreme-right groups shared his photos and hate speech towards him in social networks within their subscribers. He received approximately 10-15 letters with threats. The administrators of the social network replied that there was nothing of criminal nature happening and didn’t block the offender groups and threads with the trans man’s photos.
