Saakashvili's supporters stage protest near Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office, pelt Roshen sweet shop with snowballs

Several participants of the March for Impeachment and a rally in support of the former Georgian president and the leader of the Movement of New Forces, Mikheil Saakashvili, held a protest action outside the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office on Sunday, December 10.

Over 200 people have proceeded from the site of a picket near the Ukrainian Security Service's (SBU) detention center to Riznytska Street, where the Prosecutor General's Office building is located.

They were crying out criticizing slogans against Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, demanding to release from custody Saakashvili and other people, whom they believe to be political prisoners, and to stop the pressure on the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and anti-corruption bodies.

Prior to this, a number of protesters have blocked the Roshen sweet shop on Mazepy Street along with its visitors, according to media reports. They allowed visitors to leave the sweet shop some time later and started throwing snowballs at it.

Meanwhile, a number of protesters remained near the SBU detention center, where Saakashvili detained on Friday is being held.
