Kyiv Mohyla University students go on strike

The strike of Ukraine’s most progressive university, Kyiv Mohyla, is to begin at 10.00 Jan. 20, organizers say.

 “After the adoption of police laws Jan. 16, Ukraine has become a new country. Now everyone who dares to express his opinion is a terrorist. The university cannot remain the hub of freedom given such laws. We cannot work and study in a police state.

The time of pickets and rallies is over. The time of resolute actions is in. Our strike will snowball to other universities and finally become a general strike,” the students’ statement runs.”

Students demand the abrogation of Dec. 16 police laws, disbandment of Berkut riot police and autonomy for universities, TBi reports Jan. 20.
