Anti-government protesters met riot police in the city of Kiev on Sunday in a renewed show of street protest against Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovich and despite a law against large public demonstrations passed by the ruling party last week in Parliament.

The Guardian reports:

“Yanukovich and his henchmen want to steal our country,” declared Klitschko, famous as a world champion boxer but also the strongest potential challenger for the presidency. “Ukraine is united as never before in its struggle against those in power today, in its determination not to allow a dictatorship.”
