KYIV, Apr. 5 – According to the lawyer for the leader of the ultra-right UNA-UNSO political movement, Andry Shkil, contrary to some information, the latter’s health is far from normal, the Novy TV channel reported on Thursday.
“His health conditions are very bad and tend to go from bad to worse,” Tatyana Montyan, the lawyer for Shkil said, according to the report.
Montyan said that the complaint against Shkil’s arrest will not be filed with Kyiv’s Pechersk district court until the Supreme Court delivers its final judgment on what the lawyer said was an analogous complaint by former Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was released recently from a Kyiv prison.
“We would like to get the arguments from both Nikolai Zamkovenko (head of the Pechersk district court) and the Supreme Court,” she said.
Shkil was arrested by the SBU State Security Service in the course of an investigation into criminal charges that Shkil was responsible for instigating mass unrest during a March 9 anti-presidential protest in Kyiv.
On March 9, police and protesters clashed, with more than 50 people on both sides of the fighting reporting injuries, the report said.
