Right Sector agrees to postpone its "storm" as Verkhovna Rada vows to investigate Muzychko's death (Part 2)

KYIV. March 28 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian Parliament (Verkhovna Rada) will form an interim commission to investigate the death of Right Sector coordinator Oleksandr Muzychko, also known as Sashko Bily, independent MP Yuriy Derevianko has said.

"Indeed, the truth should be established [in the case of Muzychko's death]. An interim investigative commission will be set up in parliament tomorrow in order to probe this case. It will certainly include representatives of the Right Sector," Derevianko told people, who gathered outside of the Verkhovna Rada building.

Following negotiations with parliamentarians, a member of the Right Sector Political Council, Oleh Odnorozhenko, for his part, said that "the demands put forth by the Right Sector have been fulfilled, and tomorrow we will gather outside the Verkhovna Rada and will continue to monitor the situation at the Verkhovna Rada."

A Right Sector leader, Andriy Bondarenko, also said that the organization's rally demanding the resignation of Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov would be resumed on Friday morning.

Up to 1,500 people joined a rally demanding Avakov's resignation near the parliament building on Thursday evening.

Muzychko, a member of an organized criminal group, was fatally injured in a shootout with police in the Rivne region early on March 25.

The Right Sector demanded the immediate resignation of Interior Minister Arsen Avakov and the arrest of all officers from the Sokil (Falcon) special police force who played part in Muzychko's death.

Avakov said in response that he was receiving threats from the Right Sector. Avakov also said that he "accepts this challenge", and his approach towards those who violate public order will be fairly tough.

Security has already been increased at the Verkhovna Rada headquarters.

Security guards have placed water hydrants near the building's entrance doors and have asked journalists who work inside the building not to approach the windows overlooking Kyiv's Constitution Square, where protesters can still be seen.

Police said earlier that around 1,500 people were taking part in a rally outside the parliament building calling on Avakov to step down.
