zE- assaulted by Ukrainian police

23/1/2011 - 17:49

HLTV.org understands that TCM-Gaming member Baljit "zE-" Lal was yesterday assaulted by Ukrainian police outside a club.

The Danish player was asked to show his passport after leaving a club in Kiev and then taken to a police station, located right next to the club, as he did not have the document with him.

The police then asked for money to let Lal go, but upon learning he did not have any with him, they punched the player twice, releasing him about 30 minutes later.

zE- assaulted by Ukrainian policemen

mousesports star Roman "roman" Ausserdorfer was also questioned by the police after leaving the same club, but avoided further trouble as he paid the men.

"Because my passport was at the hotel, I had to pay the police ("money under the table") if I did not want to be placed in a small "prison room" overnight," he said on his Facebook wall.

"They did not accept driver's licence or any other personal documents."

i know you didn't say that, however you kinda say that it's somehow his own fault for not bringing his passport and the police can be douches sometimes anyways so he should have thought about that, that's how i read your comment. This incident can NEVER be his fault as it's the Ukranian police fucked up ways that get him beaten up. He doesn't have the money to pay them of, so they beat him instead, and becides are you telling me that he should be grateful that he didn't end up worse than he did? are you fucking kidding me?

Then you read well: 1)It was mistake not to have passport in foreign country, because it is not legal to be in other country without it, and police can't know if he is there to play cs tournament or to kill someone. 2)I don't approve police AT ALL!!! If they done what he claims they did they should be legally reported and punished for they'r behaver. 3)AND I can't quite understand all this people flaming on Ukrainian nation. The story allays has 2 sides (not accusing anyone) and how da fu*k we all know what happened exactly?

1)Again: Don't put your thoughts in others posts..., didn't said that YOU are flaming... 2)Yes it's fucked up but i don't see anyone here saying "just a cop being a douche" thats good. 3)Don't accuse police of doing something that you are not sure they did!!! You weren't there you don't know what really happened.

2011-01-23 23:14

"[...] or to kill someone" He probably was going to! He might would've killed You! I surely hope all cops will start out hitting people randomly. That way there would never be any killings. Right? That ofcourse after collecting their pocket money, ensuring they won't go buy any nuclear pocket weapon. I think You should punch yourself twice - I mean you have to start somewhere?

I didn't come to troll. I clicked to read the news, scrolled further down to read some comments and suddenly stumbled upon your prior ingestions about zE leaving out some truth, thus that, You assuming people's dismay over corrupt police equals flaming a nation. Stop the troll-alarm. It's a cheap comeback. If You understood the irony you would be able to see that it actually responds directly to your point no. 1 on this case. Ironicly ofcourse.

Stop assuming what i said, everything is clear in my posts and i didn't said zE left out some truth i just said that we here cant judge for something that we don't know what happed based on victims story. And you are the one flaming by accusing police of being corrupted without evidence(and many others on this topic). And yes, you are trolling by letting your rage out in posts that don't have truth to back them up, like in #564 where you clearly are mad and just want to write as much rubbish as you can...

2011-01-24 19:14

3 replies

I'm quite sorry if i seemed raging or mad. As it didn't go to court, you're right in the fact that zE's statements have no legal backup. This said I still find it fair to assume it's true, since zE has no interests in lying on this matter - furthermore compared to the probability of a Ukranian policeman blackmailing some tourist. I know this is a sensible subject, so I'll clear it right now: I have nothing at all against Ukranians nor eastern europeans. This summer I went to Albania, Montenegro and Serbia. In Belgrade we actually met a policeman trying to write us a parking ticket without any fair reason. We kept discussing and he agreed letting us drive on - actually ending up giving directions for the quite chaotic city - the hell, we even shoke hands. And I'm definately going to Serbia and Albania again - Guča was really awesome! It's just a fact that less stable and in some cases poor countries have a higher rate of police corruption. Sad but true. I'll be more careful in future, writing ironic replies. HF

Well, pretty much everyone in a resonably free and open country I would suspect. I never bring my passport with me at all times when abroad.

2011-01-23 21:30

Ohh come on dude, when you are abroad, and especially when you're outside of European Union, you have to have your passport with you all the time. Example - it was the same with my turkish friends ind Lithuania. They had to carry on their passport all the time, even when they were on university or clubs. You cannot imagine how big problems it can bring you in countries like Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, Russia...

2011-01-24 01:06

Well. Is he first time abroad? He is a kind of tourist in that country and it's not about corruption in countries. When you're abroad in an foreign country you should be ready for different cases and carrying your passport with you in your wallet or pocket isn't such a big deal.

If I think correct (what is not so sure) Police can check your passport, when they suspect that you are from another country (in this case it was easy - zE was for sure not speaking Ukrainian). I think it's all because of illegal imigrants ;-)

2011-01-24 01:10

First thing they can check is VISA! And VISA is only in your passport!

2011-01-24 11:14

I don't understand why other countries don't kick Ukrainians/Romanians/etc. out and beat them up. I know a lot of Ukrainian immigrants living/studying/working in Portugal, and their problems with the law enforcement is 0, ok ? and they are living here for more than 10 years. and where never physically abused by the police whatsoever. -- PLUS he was on vacations, having fun on a nightclub, ffs.

Actually the whole problem is about the salary. People with brain don't want to work in police (especially in patrol) due to low salary an high risks, that's why they employ some retards who hardly graduated from school and have no moral etc. Everyone in Russia or Ukraine hates our police for sure, of course if he is not a policeman himself xD

Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that ethnic differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. Probably the agents saw that they weren't Ukrainians and took advantage of that.

Really sad. Feel bad for zE- Hope he is alright. He did not have money, it wasn't his fault.I don't understand how beating him up is an alternative for not having money or passport. P.S-Yes maybe he should have carried his passport when leaving his place since its a foreign country.But isn't passport safer at home? :|

2011-01-23 19:22

in some poor places here in my country, we can see some cops that invades your home, kill you and say to the media that you had a extensive criminal record or you were a junkie, or ask you money to let you live in your own home...

zE should approach to cyberarena staff and explain them the situation: give them all detailes, names of these policemen officers. Furthermore, Ukrainian admins of Kiev cybersport Arena / cyberarena will address this claim to other police department. As a result, inner investigation within police departments will be held and bad policemen will be punished - fired at least. In any case, zE should handle this case to police station with help of some native speakers. And roman should assist him in doing it of course.

Sorry but you ALWAYS have to carry a passport (outside of EU) or an valid ID to get identified when you're travelling outside of your home country. What's so special about it? They should've known it considering they're travelling so much. Lucky they didn't face have any further consequences. And before you all start juding the police - remember it was after the club, that danish guy was prolly super drunk. Maybe he even said something to provoke that hit? It's a onesided story - don't forget that!

People, perhaps like you or not, just come to public house and say: "I want something special, beautiful young girl, especially from Urkaine or Russia" Isn't it?

Need to say a word regarding Ukrainian police (militia - the title remains since past USSR) - they are 90% bidlo, not intelligent, brutal, with 'special' (neagtive) attitue to people (and tourists). Remember one thing - the ONLY goal of police is forcing you to pay them money via cheating, threatening, assaulting, aressting and using blackmail.Every tourist have money according to their logic. Avarage salary of ukrainian policeman is about $250-300 and they catching every opportunity to 'earn' more using their police status. It's 100% true. They can catch you with 5g (legal amount) of Marihuana, force you to confess about more grammes about trading drugs and they can add more 'fake' crimes you didn't perform by forcing sign papers (if you refuse to sign they may beat you or (more often) impacting on your psychic by jaling you for some days in bad conditions with dummy persons (ex-prisoners). And after it you'll try to pay them for your release and canceling you fake 'crimes'. The amount of money eq about price of good euro automobile and somitemes more. Many Ukrainian police officers have good cars (that they unable to but for the their legal salary), cotteges, their children, wife or lovers feel good. Actually those people rob and assault (not guard as it have to be by the law) their citizen.

If you are a foreign person in Ukraine, look like an Asian and don't have the pasport, you may have troubles with them. So don't forget your passport if you are going out. And if you have any issues with them, the best thing you can do is calling your country embassy imidiatelly, save their number into the cellphone on fastdial. Our policemen always try to get money from foreign persons, since them don't know Ukrainian law. But our laws like the laws in EU, but the policemen don't obbey them... For Lal now the best option to write an application into internal police security devision. It will help to fight for the human rights in Ukraine. This news already got resonanse in our press, so they will not ignore it.

This accident is NOT unique. Foreing ppl do NOT understand such behaviour from police. We becoming ghetto/police country. Tip: Tourist have to learn distignish 'bad/bidlo*' and good/open minded/modern people in Ukraine. There are some amount of hornest open-good-minded people in Ukraine and 'bidlo'*. Visiting Ukraine try to find a man/girl guide from you online friends, trust enlish speaking, modern/free looking/wearing young people (16-2*). Grey jackets - avoid them. *'Bidlo' (slang) that has unique and local meaning. Other nearest words by the meaning for 'bidlo' are zombies/masses/animals/slaves ie primitive, limited people with animal behavior, needs and mind level. Some people argued that they are 70% of Ukrain population.

Nice comments must admit. But you exaggerate a little. From your comments it became clear we've got nothing but bydlo (dumb people) here in Ukraine. But i've been living in some of EU countries. Imho it's not so much better even though life conditions are not comparable to what we have here.

It depends...

For all haters i can say only "It's life". No wonder this has happened to some of our european guests. Every country, region has it's own 'shit' that may happen. In the USA some still say that russian (as well as ukrainian) people use caps with ear-flaps (ushanka), and bears walk on a city and no one cares. But i know many 'cool' things and stories about russian\ukrainian people living abroad. :)

"It depends..." Common ppl don't be so shy saying that we now live in police country with bandits at goverment, clans intereses, high level of poverty and corruption, mind and body degradation amoung some layers of human beings. I'm almost 30 single and it's kinda time when you see very clear whats going on around indeed. You're mostly young (16-22) and you feel more happy and kinda 'if got no problems - its ok for all' + low XP. You know kids are very happy by themselfs cause they are kids. They can live in jungle and be happy. Relatevly good opportunies for EVERYTHING, good health, everything is interesting - you're are happy playing online games, bmx-ing, having fun with friends, till the day when you realize that EXTERNAL factors cheating you health ammo and armour. Realize you can live much more better IF..Did we see other life? How many of you (ukrainians) were traveling around the world? "but in Eu is better than here" Sure better about some things. You cannot be assaulted for nothing! ) and more

Welcome to Ukraine guys... If you don't like your police forget them :) You never seen Ukrainian) your police are angels :D

2011-01-24 22:44

funny how many people keep bashing Ukraine, calling it inferior to their nations etc. In a reality, this happens everywhere, human rights are abused on daily basis everywhere, however, in some countries it is more open. In USA, I mean cops would never do that, ass they know better, that if you report them, they are fked. In Ukraine, on the other side, police gets away with this stuff, as mentality is different there and people usually just pay, so they won't be bothered.

The fact of the matter is, yes its sad that the police think its ok to do somethink like that, and probably knew there were international tourists at the club, however, you still need to respect the laws and rules of the country you are in. If they require you to carry your passport at all times, then so be it, you need to abide. Its not our place to say what rules are right and wrong, unless you are a citizen. Police corruption happens in a lot of places, it is very sad that it does, but remember if no 1 stops it why would they think its wrong. They probably see the gamers as wealthy and thought Ze was taking the piss by saying he has no money. In the UK people often take their passport to clubs as means of identification. Either way u shud not judge a country on a few bent cops. As Nix said previously, most people who go can't wait to go back :)

2011-01-25 22:02

Its not just Ukraine lol.. this shit happend in Ukraine as it could happen' in Portugal or any other country.. it is sad it happend there.. dispite living in Portugal I was born in Moldova and lived there for quite some time so I know how shit is by those places.. imo it really depends on the place you are living/visiting.. I never had problems with authorities but I know that in the bigger city's cops don't behave themselves the way they should.. so don't say Ukraine is shit or so.. all country's have their Good's and Bad's..
