Hundreds of protesters rallied on Oct. 10 in support of Ukrainian prisoners of war and political prisoners in Russia and Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine’s Donbas.

The protesters marched from the Golden Gate metro station to the President’s Office on Bankova Street.

The demonstrators demanded that the government re-launch a commission searching for those missing in the Donbas and pass laws on prisoners of war and war crimes.

A total of 756 families are currently looking for missing or imprisoned Ukrainian relatives.
