There would appear to be widespread harassment of opposition election workers and abuse by the government of state facilities to support their candidate, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.

A large number of international bodies have expressed concern with the manner in which the electoral process. It is imperative that these elections abide to general European practice, and that the attempts by the government to restrict opposition access to the media, hold rallies and canvass support must be ceased immediately. read full story / add a comment
