(CNN)Protesters attacked a convoy of buses carrying Ukrainian citizens and
other nationals evacuated from the Chinese city of Wuhan, injuring nine
police officers and one civilian Thursday.
As global fears and misconceptions spread about the coronavirus outbreak
that originated in the city, protesters blocked roads in the Ukrainian town
of Noviy Sanzhari, where 72 evacuees are to be monitored for two weeks at a
medical center. Ukraine has no diagnosed cases of the novel coronavirus.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs said that "aggressive citizens"
began to pelt the buses with stones, and that one man tried to hit police
with a car.
"Those people who today threw stones at the evacuees ... and law enforcement
officers, injured nine police officers, one of them has serious injuries,
we will make a decision on their punishment," Interior Minister Arsen Avakov
said.
Police opened criminal proceedings after the clash, the ministry said.
Video circulating on social media appeared to show residents protesting
prior to the evacuees' arrival, blocking roads and confronting police.
Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, have sought to
ease tensions over the returnees for the last two days. | C*********e 发帖数: 1 | |
