District courts in Kyiv have granted investigators' and prosecutors' requests to remand into custody the first ten people suspected of the mass disturbances which started on Kyiv's Hrushevskoho Street on January 19, Kyiv prosecutor's office spokeswoman Yana Sobolevska told reporters.
“According to the investigators’ filings, all these people were
directly involved in the mass disturbances outside Dynamo Stadium on
Hrushevsky Street, which were accompanied by violence, chaos, arson,
property damage and resistance to the authorities’ representatives,”
Sobolevska said.
In committing such actions the wrongdoers were using weapons,
baseball bats, stones and Molotov cocktails, thus putting many lives in
danger, she said.
Courts normally remand a person into custody for a two-month period.
