Brian Mefford: Tyrannical tendencies – Ukraine’s new Jan. 16th law
A wanted poster depicting Ukraine's ousted president Viktor Yanukovych is stuck on a burned vehicle used as a barrycade in central Kyiv, on Feb. 28, 2014.
On Feb. 16, the same day it almost approved no confidence in the government, Ukraine’s parliament successfully passed law #3700 on its eighteenth attempt. While the law was overshadowed by the controversy over the vote on the government, the legislation is the equivalent of a new “January 16th law” for Ukrainian politicians.
