Ukraine: Dusk and tear gas do not deter Kiev protesters
Thousands of protesters remained in Kiev's Independence Square Friday evening, just hours after police fired tear gas as protests turned violent on their eighth day. Protesters are upset over the Ukrainian government's decision not to enter into an association agreement with the European Union.
Ukraine has experienced a week of ongoing protests, with some in favour of integration with the EU and others opposed to it. Thousands have gathered in Kiev's Independence Square throughout the week.
Tear gas was also used on protesters on Tuesday. Also, jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko has begun a hunger strike that she says will not end until an association agreement is signed.
