On October 1, activists of the civic movement "Clean Ukraine" set up a tent camp in front of the Volyn Regional State Administration. This was done as part of an all-Ukrainian action dedicated to the 14th anniversary of the so-called "revolution on granite" — the student hunger strike that took place in Kyiv in October 1990.
About 40 young people, mostly students, distributed materials, talked with passersby and drew parallels between the nomenklatura Soviet regime, against which their older colleagues spoke out 14 years ago, and the current corrupt government. They also addressed the regional leadership with a demand to stop the pressure on young people that has begun recently in connection with the start of the election race, to stop the use of administrative resources and to stop gross violations of the laws of Ukraine.
The activists distributed among the mass media an appeal by the Volyn regional organization of the Youth Nationalist Congress and the civic campaign "Clean Ukraine" regarding the actions of law enforcement agencies that took place on the night of September 30 to October 1 of this year. During this time, surveillance was conducted of the office premises of the aforementioned organizations and individual members, and photographs were taken. A group of young people who were to become participants in a similar action in Kyiv never managed to get there, since after their bus driver's conversation with law enforcement officers it turned out that the bus had broken down several hours earlier.
The young people warned that in the event of the continuation of similar actions by those who should be protecting rather than violating laws, they reserve the right to react, while emphasizing that they do not plan to do anything that contradicts the legislation.
