Ukraine Pride cancelled after police fail to guarantee protection | Amnesty International
“The importance of the right to freedom of
assembly was dramatically evidenced in the EuroMaydan protests. It’s
hugely disappointing that only five months later, the peaceful enjoyment
of this right is being selectively denied by the very authorities
who profited from it,” said John Dalhuisen, Director of the Europe and
Central Asia Programme at Amnesty International.
