Ukraine: Communists mount last fight against ban
Party to appeal against far-right regime’s communist ban

THE Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU) will mount a last-ditch legal defence against its banning by the far-right coup regime next week.

In a statement, the KPU central committee said yesterday that the Kiev Appeal Administrative Court has scheduled the hearing for next Wednesday — and rejected its lawyers’ requests for additional evidence and witnesses.

The party is appealing against the District Administrative Court of Kiev’s December 2015 rejection of its appeal against the “decommunisation law.”
