EuroMaidan Revolution
Police action incompatible with democracy
The violent dispersal of EuroMaidan came almost three years to the day that similar action was taken against the Tax Code Maidan. There are other worrying parallels, including people remanded in custody on dubious grounds in a clear attempt to warn others of likely consequences of peaceful protest. Judging by the outrage this time, Ukraine's leaders have badly miscalculated. A rally is planned for Sunday, Dec 1 and it is likely to be huge.
