Anti-discrimination group Fare slammed Dynamo Kiev’s plan to segregate fans based on their skin colour yesterday, calling it “utterly ridiculous.”

Four black fans were attacked during last week’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea at the NSK Olimpiyskyi Stadium, which led to its director Volodimir Spilchenko admitting to the Washington Post that he was willing to consider splitting up white and black supporters, an idea put forward by a journalist.

The anti-discrimination group’s executive director Piara Powar is astounded that such a proposal is even being taken seriously, saying: “This was a fearsome attack and then we have people who think it’s quite within the realms of a sensible response to just be trivialising the matter by suggesting separate areas of the stadium. It’s utterly ridiculous.
