Ukraine’s parliament in an extraordinary session on 28 January has repealed a series of laws that have been criticized as stifling dissent and free speech. Ukraine has seen violent protests since November 2013. The demonstrations have been led by pro-Europe activists angry that President Viktor Yanukovych had decided against an association agreement with the European Union in favour of closer relations with Russia.
