Halya Coynash: Activists confess their ‘crimes’
In one of a number of original protests, a group of Ukrainian writers, journalists and civic activists arrived on Saturday, Jan 18 at the Kyiv SIZO [remand prison] to confess for the masks (saucepans and bowls…) on their heads, their car procession and other “offences” as per the new anti-protest law.
They were in this way reacting to the anti-protest laws pushed through by the ruling majority with multiple infringements on Thursday, and then speedily signed into force on Friday evening by the president, Viktor Yanukovych.
