“...Anti-government demonstrators in Ukraine...”
-
Ivan, what do you think they want?
They’re calling for
-the “president” and his government to resign,
-to disband the special police forces (Berkut) who killed 3 people earlier in the week
-arrest of the officers responsible for the deaths of these 3
This had been a peaceful protest for two months, but no, they started to kidnap and beat journalists (ex. Chornovol, Lutsenko) then started to beat the regular people, then last week they passed laws disallowing right to protest (you now need approval from the government to do that) and right to free speech and press (you criticize the government, you’re an “extremist”, 6 year prison term for you)
Finally they killed three people on Tuesday, when they had a police crackdown. Two were shot. The other one was taken from a hospital, beaten to death and dumped outside the city.
That’s about it, welcome to Ukraine
