KYIV, Ukraine - Jan. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Current events have unfolded after the court ruling that sentenced to 6 years in prison two local government officials from the city of Vasylkiv who were convicted of "threatening to overthrow the constitutional order" and "terorirsm". These events were exacerbated by the charges filled on them. The two had blown up Lenin's memorial, which was previously already set for demolition by the local court. Nonetheless, the court proceedings that started in 2011, and imprisoned the two for the last two years of said proceedings have ruled the maxim possible sentence on them. Clashes broke out in the court room, and upon the request for the help from the nearby EuroMaidan protests and Automaidan, the motorist organisation that supports current dissatisfaction with the government and constantly helps in different mass actions by the opposition.

The initial demonstration blocked the exits from the court causing the present police to call on reinforcements. When arriving forces tried to clear obstacles that the protesters have set up for them, violent clashes ensued, this resulted in more than 30 injuries, including a few Ukrainian deputies and Yuri Lutsenko, former minister of internal affairs. After intital incidents, regrouped protesters shouted "Shame!", "Glory to Ukraine!", "Glory to Heroes!" while demanding the attacking police to take off their masks. Protesters agreed to let the police who revealed themselves into the court. The resulting corridor between bussess and the court was opening up or closing down depending on whether the police fulfilled demands of the crowd. This "Walk of Shame", as it has been called, was seen as symblic victory by EuroMaidan protesters. As Antoliy from one of the tents on the Maidan commented "We made our attackers ashamed. This is a real victory."
