2. The bias of Human Rights Watch was completely evident

during the first 5 months of the Ukraine crisis. They rarely reported on civilian deaths in East Ukraine and when they did report from the war they openly blamed the ethnic Russian pro Russian separatists but the never blamed the Kiev National Guard battalions that drove 500 killometers east and started indiscriminately bombing the civilian population, including using incendiary munitions on those civilians. The city of Slavyansk was bombed everyday for 45 days straight and HRW was relatively silent while over 300 women, children and elderly people were blown to pieces. It is shameful.

Human Rights Watch relented to pressure and started reporting on the atrocities and bombings only recently, beginning in August, when the Kiev regimes National Guard Neo Nazi battalions couldn't be kept a secret any longer. Here is an extensive video thread proving they are neo-nazis and that Poroshenko has been fully supporting them.
