Ukraine protesters leave justice ministry

January 28, 2014 03:05

Ukrainian anti-government protesters have ended their occupation of the justice ministry after the minister threatened a state of emergency. A spokesman for the protesters said they had left because they did not want to provoke the authorities. The EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton has brought forward a visit to Ukraine to Tuesday, citing "deep concern" about the situation.

Unrest has spread across Ukraine in recent days. Protesters across the country have targeted, and in many cases occupied, the offices of regional authorities. The protesters stormed the justice ministry building late on Sunday in a "symbolic act" to strip the authorities of justice.
