1) According to the website Texts.org.ua, Judge Rybak was part of the panel that failed to take action to prevent the escape of the commander of the Berkut unit Dmytro Sadovnyk, who is suspected of killing 39 people on the Maidan, namely, during the week of consideration of the case, no coercive pretext was applied to Dmytro Sadovnyk, who did not appear at the court session. As can be seen from the ruling of the Kyiv Court of Appeal, the panel postponed the consideration of the appeal 4 times regarding the ruling of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv on changing the preventive measure for Dmytro Sadovnyk from detention to house arrest on the grounds of the illness of the defense lawyer or Dmytro Sadovnyk himself. At the same time, as informs lawyer of the relatives of the fallen heroes of the Heavenly Hundred Pavlo Dykan, the documents provided were not enough to make a decision to postpone the court session. As a result, the panel of judges was only able to make a decision almost two weeks after the appeal was received and, accordingly, after Dmytro Sadovynyk's escape decision on the election of a preventive measure in the form of detention for Dmytro Sadovnyk.
2) According to register of court decisions and information According to the publication “Dzerkalo Tyzhnia”, Judge Rybak was the presiding judge of the panel of judges that considered in the appellate instance the criminal case against Lutsenko Y.V. for allegedly illegally celebrating the Police Day in the “Ukraine” palace. The appellate instance confirmed the legality of the verdict of the Pecherskyi District Court of Kyiv, by which Lutsenko Y.V. was sentenced to 4 years in prison. As can be seen from statements High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Vice-President of the European Commission Catherine Ashton and European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Štefan Füle, the Lutsenko verdict and the trial as a whole were regarded by the European institutions as not meeting international standards for a fair, transparent and independent trial. In addition, in the resolutions of the European Parliament of 09.06.2011. and from 05/14/2012. it was noted that the previous report of the Danish Helsinki Committee for Human Rights on the cases of Lutsenko and Korniychuk cited a large number of violations of the European Convention on Human Rights, the trials against other high-ranking officials from the former government are unacceptable and are a manifestation of selective justice, and also expressed concern about the increase in selective persecution of political opposition figures in Ukraine and recognized Lutsenko as having been convicted for political reasons.
