Ukraine's communists will take election fight to the European Court of Human Rights
THE Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU) will file a complaint with the Supreme Court tomorrow over the ban on its leader Petro Symonenko (pictured) standing for president.
And Mr Symonenko warned that the party would take the fight further, all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.
The KPU general secretary said the Central Electoral Commission’s refusal to allow the party to participate showed “the concept of democracy for Ukraine is not applicable at all. There is a political dictatorship here, with only oligarchs, neonazis and organised crime bosses in power.”
