Crowds outside the Ukrainian
parliament seized a Parliamentarian , as he left the building for a break , and put him in a trash bin . The move puzzled politicians, as the deputy was behind the lustration law which the protesters had gathered to support .
A crowd gathered outside the
parliament , Verkhovna Rada , in Kiev on Tuesday to rally while MPs were voting on a new bill banning the closest allies of Ukraine ’s deposed President Yanukovich from politics .
Vitaly Zhuravsky , deputy for the Economic Development group , stepped outside the parliament building for a break, and was immediately seized by a large crowd of men .
Zhuravsky was forced into a trash can full of rubbish, while the crowd cheered “ Glory to Ukraine !”
Several men held Zhuravsky by his head , preventing him from getting out of the bin . They threw a car tire at him and poured some liquid over him, saying he was “ to blame for bloodshed . ”
The deputy was carried in the bin across the street , before police intervened .
Zhuravsky later said he considered the attack to be a hit, ordered by political competitors , adding that he pardons the offenders.
“ I am still shocked by what has happened . I take this incident as a hit by my competitors , running for the vote in the Zhitomir region . I don’ t think that ’s the way Maidan people could have treated me , it can’t be true , I simply don’ t believe it , ” the deputy said at a Rada briefing.
The deputy said he was among the draftsmen of the new so - called lustration bill, which was adopted by the Ukrainian parliament on Tuesday.
If signed into law by President Petro Poroshenko , MPs who worked under Viktor Yanukovich will be forced to quit parliament and will be permanently banned from occupying
seats .
