On Feb. 23, protesters in support of activist Serhiy Sternenko erupted across Ukraine. Sternenko was convicted of robbery, kidnapping and illegal carrying of firearms by the Odesa District Court and sentenced to seven years and three months in prison. He was found guilty of abducting Serhiy Shcherbych, a member of the Rodina party, who at the time of abduction was a deputy of the district council in Odesa Oblast. Sternenko says the case is political retribution for his activism.
