Ukraine sees rival protests; four accused of abuse of power
Kiev, Safar 11, 1435, Dec 14, 2013, SPA -- Tens of thousands of demonstrators took part in rival protests for and against the Ukrainian government Saturday as four
top officials were accused of being responsible for the use of police
force to break up a pro-EU rally two weeks ago, dpa reported.
Supporters of President Viktor Yanukovych gathered in a Kiev square
in response to weeks of anti-government protests, sparked by a
government decision not to sign an association agreement with the
European Union.
More than 20,000 government supporters were planning a two-day
demonstration. Many had arrived in Kiev on special trains and buses
from strongholds of government support in the east and south of
Ukraine.
They rallied 300 metres from a similar number of anti-government
protesters. There was a strong police presence, and few reports of
trouble.
