They appeared on the square unexpectedly and, forming a "square," began reading the opposition youth newspaper "Young Time." Placards with the inscriptions: "Yes to a free press," "No to censorship" attracted the attention of passersby. Among Lutsk residents, leaflets were distributed containing a list of media outlets that cover objective information regarding the election process in Ukraine.
During the "performance," the head of the Department of Culture of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Lysiuk V.L., approached the participants and said that this action was futile, since no closure of opposition media outlets had been recorded in Lutsk. But Lutsk residents remember that this spring the car of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Free Thought" was burned, and last week the editor-in-chief of the regional newspaper "Volyn," S. Sachuk, announced the threat of the newspaper's closure due to a complaint by the deputy head of the regional branch of the Party of Regions, Polishchuk D.I., to the Territorial Election Commission. Mr. Polishchuk is asking the court to hold the editor-in-chief of "Volyn" to "the legal liability provided for by law as an official of a media outlet who calls on the population to unauthorized and unlawful acts aimed at committing violent actions against the existing government."
It should be noted that on the square, in addition to representatives of the youth coalition, there were about a dozen employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security Service of Ukraine who closely watched and videotaped everything that was happening around them.
The action caused a broad resonance among passersby, who joined the participants and actively took various kinds of opposition press that was being distributed by the young Our Ukraine members.
