Pro-European activists with “sewn up” mouthes and makeshift handcuffs stand in front of Ukrainian riot policemen during an opposition rally outside the president’s office in Kiev on January 17, 2014. The European Union and the United States expressed concern after the Ukrainian parliament passed laws to curb the right to protest, a move the opposition called a power grab. Western rights groups meanwhile denounced the bills passed as an attempt by President Viktor Yanukovych to impose a “dictatorship” and called on him to veto the legislation.
