Protests in Ukraine over lifting moratorium on sale of land
 

Farmers from across Ukraine came to protest outside of Parliament as the bill to lift the moratorium on the sale of land is under consideration. So far dozens have been arrested with one reported fatality among the protestors. Following the police crackdown, consideration of the bill has been postponed until Thursday.
