Peaceful Protesters Beaten by 'Cops for Construction'

Narrator: Several people blocked traffic at Shovkovychna Street. Law enforcement construed it as a violation of civil rights.

Police: Your conduct is now in violation of the law. Please vacate the lane!

Narrator: To hold today's rally, residents and employees of the Oleksandrivska Hospital have received a permit from the City Hall. But this document is being ignored by the police.

Police commanding officer: Have two officers grab everyone of them by the arm and pull them away!

Police: Get in!
Protesters: Look what the police are doing! Look how the police are behaving!

Narrator: But all of a sudden, Police General Hennadiy Moskal appears at the scene. He is reserved in his comments.

General Moskal: I have no idea what happened here. I was just passing by. They're doing silly things on Sunday instead of work. I'll find out right away. I told them to go back to the precinct. Let them file reports to Lutsenko tomorrow, detailing what they did here.

Police watcher Tetyana Montyan, speaking ironically: We here cracked down on a peaceful rally, and then we realized what we had done. Moskal arrived to turn the situation around, but it was too late because everyone had already participated in the clashes.

Paramedic: Can you rise or should we get a stretcher?
Brutalized protester: Let me try.

Paramedic: Just try moving your body a little bit first, OK? Then I'll get you to the ambulance and we'll see.
Brutalized protester: Everything works.

Paramedic: Really?
Protester: Everything works, but it hurts.
