"ATTENTION! The policemen went on the offensive through the windows of the hall and through the corridor. ALL those present inside the Svyatoshinsky courtroom (Zhilyanskaya, 142) were severely beaten and detained. In particular, older women. Now their whereabouts are unknown. The police tried to trick people out of the blocked room by promising them that the case would be heard in another room. As soon as people began to leave, the police launched an assault. Citizens restored the barricade, but the police, with the help of firefighters, climbed over the roof and entered from the other side. The beaten Nikolai Kokhanivsky was taken to another room and locked in a cage,” Bogdan Titsky, a representative of the radical group “Black Committee,” said in his blog.
He also said that Kokhanivsky’s wife was detained and taken to the Shevchenkovsky District Department of Internal Affairs.
"Attention! One of the detainees is a volunteer Sashko Vinnichenko (Bely), seriously wounded at the front. His whereabouts are currently unknown. He could have died from the slightest injury,” Titsky reports.
In turn, the Kiev online newspaper “Strana” reports that its journalist Kirill Malyshev, who showed his ID, was detained along with the radicals, but was knocked out of his hands in a scuffle.
As PolitNavigator reported, clashes erupted last night in Kyiv's Svyatoshinsky District Court between law enforcement officers and associates of Mykola Kokhanivsky, the leader of the paramilitary nationalist group OUN. Kokhanivsky was being held in pretrial detention for his involvement in an armed conflict with a rival group.
