In Donetsk riots popular revolt

Mass protests are being prepared in Donetsk: the townspeople want to support the “people's governor” Pavel Gubarev, who was arrested the day before. Kiev authorities accuse him of violently changing the constitutional system and seizing state buildings. Dozens of Gubarev's comrades were under arrest.

Spetsnaz "Alpha" The Security Service of Ukraine is in a hurry, Pavel Gubarev is handcuffed. He does not have time to get acquainted with the court order, unsuccessfully demands to wait for his lawyer. The arrest is watched live and the wife of the national governor.

Catherine is sure that this is not the end of the struggle. “I know Paul, he will go to the end. He cannot let people down, he cannot be broken by detention. If he cannot speak, I will speak instead of him,” she said.

Pavel Gubarev is taken away in an unknown direction in a car with Kiev numbers. Detained for testimony and his close associates. In the evening news about the arrest of the leader of the Donbas people's militia collects several hundred citizens from the local administration of the SBU. Inside are only official defenders of the people's governor.

“Now we are waiting, we ask that the ombudsman be launched from us there to make sure that he was not beaten, tortured or subjected to any kind of repression. So that everything was legal,” one of the activists said.

The list of charges against the leader of the national militia is becoming known. He is charged with criminal cases under article 109, part of 1 - “Actions aimed at forcibly changing or overthrowing the constitutional order, or seizing state power, and under article 341 -“ Capturing state or public buildings or structures. ”Surprisingly, but for such in Kiev, activists of the Maidan are given heroic titles, but in Donetsk, those who disagree with the new government are imprisoned.

After half an hour of negotiations, lawyer Gubareva Elena Pryadko leaves the SBU building. “We were not allowed to see Pavel. We don’t know where he is,” she said. This news takes people out of themselves. Townspeople block the road, and right next to the SBU building there are policemen. The police gradually pushes people and frees the roadway. Act tough enough. Taking the ring, activists one by one and in groups are closed in special buses. To the rescue of the detainees rush the rest. Convoy blocking everything that comes handy. People turn over garbage containers, carry trees, move cars. Departure is closed, de-energizing the trolley bus.

As a result, the police surrender and release the detainees. At this point, confirmed the information that Gubareva still brought to Kiev. Apparently, this was done specifically in order to bring down the glow in the center of Donbass. Pavel Gubarev himself on the eve of his arrest foresaw such a development of events: “I’m not afraid of myself personally - I’m afraid that our protest will be beheaded and merged. That's what I’m afraid of!”

Activists of the national militia, friends and colleagues, Pavel, promised to gather in the coming weekend a rally of thousands of people in his defense. Just because they will not give up the new government.
