According to the UNIAN news agency, the figures were mentioned in a report entitled Price of Freedom presented at a press conference in Kyivon 20 February by a Coalition of public organizations and initiatives aimed at combating impunity of crimes against humanity.

“The result of the crimes against humanity committed during Euromaidan in November 2013 – February 2014 was the murder of at least 114 people, of whom 94 were Euromaidan activists, imprisonment of at least several hundred people, and wounding more than a thousand activists. The fate of at least 27 missing persons is still unknown,” says the statement.
