Protesters clash with police in centre of Ukraine’s capital after anti-protest laws passed
KIEV, Ukraine – Hundreds of protesters are clashing with riot police in the centre of the Ukrainian capital, after the passage of harsh anti-protest legislation.
A group of radical activists began attacking riot police with sticks, trying to push their way toward the Ukrainian parliament building, which has been cordoned off by rows of police and buses.
Stun grenades were used and smoke was seen above the crowd. Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko tried to stop the protesters from attacking police.
The clashes occurred Sunday shortly after tens of thousands rallied on Kyiv’s main square, as part of anti-government protests that have rocked Ukraine for two months.
