Ukrainian Activist's Car Set on Fire. She Also Reports Threats

One of the founders of the public movement fought bullying in schools.

Alena Parfenova, one of the founders of the public movement Parents SOS, had her car set on fire. She posted photos of the charred remains on her Facebook page. This is reported by the BBC.

Alena Parfenova is a public activist and co-founder of the organization Parents SOS. She has fought against extortion, bullying and the beating of children in schools. The Parents SOS organization became one of the driving forces behind the establishment of transparent school financing. Thanks in part to the work of these activists, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed a law against bullying last year.

The organization's community on Facebook already has more than 15 thousand members, and its posts have many times become the reason for scandals, investigations and dismissals at schools and kindergartens. Alena Parfenova has actively commented to various media on the situation in schools.

According to her, investigators are working at the scene. The activist usually parks her car in a paid parking lot, but a few days ago she left it on the street.
