UCAB: Condemned to death came to the Cabinet of Ministers

100 Ukrainians with cotton sacks on their heads, as if condemned to death, lined into a living wall in front of the Cabinet, accompanied by beating of drums. All of them are patients with terminal illness - namely, hepatitis, tuberculosis, AIDS, and activists. Protesters wanted to show with this action that 44 000 Ukrainians are sentenced to death this year, because  funds for life-saving treatment haven’t been allocated yet.
