Ukraine’s president Viktor Yanukovych signs anti-protest bill into law



Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych has signed into law a bill aimed at curbing anti-government protests.
The bill was passed in parliament on Thursday with a quick show of hands by MPs loyal to the president, rather than the usual system of electronic voting.

The changes include a ban on unauthorised tents in public areas and criminal responsibility for slandering government officials. The move has sparked uproar among the opposition, who say it is illegal.
