Solidarity Protest in Kyiv over police behaviour during the protest over tree-felling in Kharkiv

A meeting is to take place on 28 May at 14.00 in solidarity with the residents of Kharkiv who were beaten by police officers during the night from Monday to Tuesday during the vigil organized in defence of the trees in Kharkiv’s Gorky Park.  The protest will be held in front of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (10 Bohomolets St).

The protest is aimed at forcing the leadership of the Ministry to react to unlawful actions by the Kharkiv police who clearly exceeded their powers and violated human rights and to punish those responsible.
