Kyiv's Shevchenkivsky District Court has released the opposition supporters involved in a brawl with Berkut riot police officers at Khreschatyk Street on September 5.

"The case against six out of the seven who were detained has been closed, as there is no evidence of administrative offences. [However] one of the detained was fined by Hr 136. This was an assistant to MP [Oleh] Tyschenko [of the BYT-Batkivschyna faction]," Interfax-Ukraine learned from Serhiy Tryschanovych, a supervisor of the camp of supporters of Ukraine’s ex-Premier Yulia Tymoshenko near Kyiv’s Pechersky District Court.

The camp was removed on Monday by Berkut riot police officers, who pulled down all of the tents put up by Tymoshenko supporters on Khreschatyk Street, opposite Kyiv’s Pechersky District Court.

On September 6 the police reported that seven people have been detained and five subsequently released by the courts.
