KYIV. Jan 22 (Interfax) - District courts in Kyiv have granted investigators' and prosecutors' requests to remand into custody the first ten people suspected of the mass disturbances which started on Kyiv's Hrushevsky Street on January 19, Kyiv prosecutor's office spokeswoman Yana Sobolevskaya told reporters.
"According to the investigators' filings, all these people were directly involved in the mass disturbances outside Dynamo Stadium on Hrushevsky Street, which were accompanied by violence, chaos, arson, property damage and resistance to the authorities' representatives," Sobolevskaya said.
In committing such actions the wrongdoers were using weapons, baseball bats, stones and Molotov cocktails, thus putting many lives in danger, she said.
Courts normally remand a person into custody for a two-month period.
