On the 03 January 2014 the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine in an official letter threatened to deprive religious organizations Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church of the legal status.
The reason for such a reaction of the Government is a religious activity, which is allegedly executed by "the representatives, in particular of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, on Independence Square in Kyiv during December of last year and in the new – 2014".
The protests on Independence Square in Kyiv began after the Government's Nov. 21 announcement that it would not sign a major economic partnership agreement with the European Union.
We demand to impose personal sanctions on Ukrainian Government members and to help to protect the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church from deprivation of the legal status.
