KYIV. Feb 13 (Interfax) - Another 20 people who were earlier remanded into custody following clashes between protesters and riot police on Kyiv's Hrushevsky Street have been released from pre-trial detention centers and placed under house arrest under prosecutors' personal guarantees.
"The decision made by city prosecutors to seek these persons' release from custody should be viewed as another step taken by law enforcement agencies to secure a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the city of Kyiv," Yana Sobolevskaya, spokesperson for the Prosecutor's Office in the Ukrainian capital, told Interfax.
Measures of restraint that do not require detention have already been applied to 60 people accused of being involved in January's riots across Kyiv.
