“I have appealed to the Verkhovna Rada chairman to hold an extraordinary session of parliament by Sept. 30 to dismiss all judges for breach of oath, who were named by the High Council of Justice, including those involved in the illegal arrest of Maidan activists,” reads in a statement released on Sept. 27 evening on Poroshenko’s official page on Facebook.
