Ukraine Protests: Activist 'Shot Dead' By Police

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 22 Januari 2014 | 14.59

An activist has been shot dead by police in Kiev, according to medical officials representing the protesters.

Ukraine's interior ministry confirmed the death but made no comment on the cause.

Police threw stun grenades and broke through protesters' barricades made from burnt-out buses early on Wednesday morning.

The latest violence follows three nights of fighting that have left hundreds wounded in the Ukrainian capital.

Tensions in the country have reached a new high after several months of protests over President Viktor Yanukovych's refusal to sign a new deal bringing the country closer to the European Union.

Mr Yanukovych instead opted for closer ties with former communist master Russia.

Tough new anti-protest laws have also been rushed through to try to bring the situation under control, but have only increased protesters' anger.
