"The City Council substantiated its claim by the fact that the holding of public events around the colony is contrary to the law. The Kachanivka colony is a special protected facility," the statement says.
Moreover, as explained by the press service, the organizers of the picket did not file timely a notice of its conduct, which did not allow local authorities to organize a protest so that it would not harm the health of its participants and other citizens.
Today, according to a deputy chairman of the Kharkiv regional chapter of the opposition party Batkivshchyna, Valeriy Dudko, about fifty supporters of Yulia Tymoshenko came to Kharkiv from Kyiv for a rally in her support.
