VOICED : Protesta en Kiev acaba con gas lacrimogen

In Kiev, Ukrainian police clashed with 200,000 protesters defying new anti-protest laws. These laws, approved by President Yanukóvich, prohibit public protests and impose harsher penalties. The protests began in November after Yanukóvich rejected an EU association agreement, favoring closer ties with Russia. On Sunday, protesters wore kitchenware on their heads to mock the laws against masks and helmets. Western countries criticized the laws, and NGOs labeled the situation a dictatorship.
