A 33-year-old Ukrainian anti-corruption activist and political adviser, Kateryna Handziuk has died after suffering critical injuries from an acid attack in July.
Handziuk, who was an adviser to the mayor of Kherson and critic of local police, sustained severe burns to more than a third of her body after she was sprayed with a litre of sulphuric acid outside her home in the southeastern city of Kherson.
She had been battling the injuries in a hospital in Kiev, where she underwent 11 operations.
Five suspects have been detained for their alleged involvement, but no further information has been released about who ordered the attack.
