Ukraine: ‘Electric Yerevan’ protests cleared by police

ANTI-GOVERNMENT protesters moved their sit-in yesterday as the latest Ukraine-style colour revolution appeared to lose momentum.

Police cleared away barricades of rubbish bins that had blocked a central avenue during the so-called Electric Yerevan protests that originally sought to prevent 17 per cent electricity price rise.

Police also peacefully arrested 46 demonstrators who has refused to disperse, but released all of them quickly.
