On April 26, the Volyn Regional Committee of National Salvation picketed the regional prosecutor's office, demanding the resignation of prosecutor Andriy Hil, reports the Western Information Corporation.
The picketing of the regional prosecutor's office, in which about fifty Lutsk residents took part, became the start of a series of protest actions that the regional Committee of National Salvation intends to hold. The actions will be directed against officials who, in the opinion of KNS activists, have compromised themselves through corrupt actions and participation in the falsification of the 2004 presidential elections.
Volyn committee members will in this way seek the resignation of officials who, according to the head of the executive committee of the public organization "People's Union Our Ukraine" Mykola Buliha, "do not wish to leave power voluntarily, but on whom there are no real levers of influence from the new executive power in the region."
At a press conference on April 25 that preceded the start of the action, KNS activists once again called on officials to repent and resign.
Among those who "have no moral right to remain in their positions," the names of regional prosecutor Andriy Hil, head of the state administration "Volynlis" Bohdan Kolisnyk, head of the regional administration of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Volodymyr Hrushovinchuk, general director of the state television and radio company Sviatoslav Pyrozhko, and Lutsk city mayor Anton Kryvytskyi were named. It is precisely them that activists of the Committee of National Salvation will picket during the current week.
