Heavily armed riot troops broke into an opposition party office in central Kiev on Monday and seized its servers, the party said, as Ukraine's anti-government protests crippled the capital for yet another day.
Hundreds of police moved into Kiev early in the day and some began to dismantle a few of the protest barriers and tents that had been blocking city offices.
Fatherland Party member Ostap Semerak told The Associated Press that troops broke into the party's offices on Monday evening, some even climbing in through its windows.
"They are storming us. The images are insane," he said, speaking by telephone.
The troops left after confiscating some computer equipment, he said.
Party member Marina Soroka also said the troops surrounded and blockaded several opposition-minded Ukrainian media outlets, making their and other media websites inaccessible.
