On August 24th, 2011 Ukraine celebrated its 20th anniversary of Ukrainian Independence. Ukrainians had Independence's holiday in their hearts, but not in their state. Because present state power prohibited! any meeting or foot march organized by oppositional leaders in many regional centres and in the capital Kyiv on Independence Day! Is it independence when state power allows only pro-power meeting or march? No. So people wanted to celebrate Ukrainian independence and went foot march to oppositional meeting (prohibited with a court!) near Taras Shevchenko monument in Kyiv on August 24th. And now state power is deciding to open criminal deal against these meeting's members in Kyiv! The same situation arose in Donetsk, where 300 Ukrainians, representatives of oppositional parties and organizations, went foot march on Independence Day with Ukrainian flags, but without state permission for such foot march. And state power also decided to open criminal deal against these members of Donetsk foot march. Can You believe in such nonsense? Ukrainians could't go where they wanted on Ukraine's Independence Day! Ukrainians have a right to organize meeting or to go foot march where they want according to Ukrainian Constitution. They only need to notice state power about their actions before. So what is this state power in Ukraine which prohibits Ukrainians the peaceful foot march and meeting in their main state holiday?
Ukrainians fought for their state independence during many centuries. And present state power has no right to prohibit people to celebrate their Independence Day. In another case this state power isn't a power for Ukrainians, but only occupants. And then nation has a duty to protect its motherland from the occupants.
