You're reading: Ukraine groups call for national mobilization on Jan. 19

More than a hundred NGOs have declared full mobilization on Independence Square in Kyiv.

The impetus for this was the situation in the country and approving the antisocial laws on Jan. 16 that shall establish a dictatorship.

Only a massive and immediate resistance of people can stop criminals and protect people from mass arrests. It is now the time to stand up for our freedom, our families, our country.

The authors of the appeal support the decision on the national council on Jan. 19. With this council, we will start restoring the constitutional order. Dictatorship will end. These days are critical.

Citizens of Ukraine have to come to Maydan Nezalezhnosti Square to counter criminals and protect from mass repression.

Wherever you live, go to Kyiv, call everyone you know and stay. Kyivans! Ask your neighbors, colleagues and families come to Maydan.

Kyivans are asked to assist compatriots from other cities with an overnight stay and food. Wherever you work – do not follow the instructions of illegal authorities, not acknowledge the “laws” of Yanukovych and join the nationwide resistance to dictatorship.

The letter was signed by a great number of public and political organizations.

It was reported that opposition is convening a new people’s council on Jan. 19 and is preparing to strike.
