At that time in Kyiv…

On 30 January at 11:30 a great host of militia detained about 10 members of the organization ’Shchit Batkivshchiny’ (’Shield of the Fatherland’), participants of the picket ’Ukraine without Kuchma’, who put up a tent near the main postal office in order to protest against the erecting fence on the Nezalezhnist Square, between the tent camp and the public. The place, where the detained are kept, is unknown.

Among the detained there were two girls, who militiamen treated with especial cruelty, and V. Chechilo, the head of the national union of servicemen ’Viyskova ednist’.
