Arrest attempt in Ukraine sparks clash for second day

-

Supporters of Ukraine’s top opposition politician clashed Wednesday with police who tried to arrest him for a second time at a tent camp outside the parliament building in Kiev.

Ukrainian authoritie­s accuse Mikheil Saakashvil­i, Georgia’s former president and now an anti-corruption crusader in Ukraine, of colluding with Ukrainian businessme­n to topple President Petro Poroshenko.

Saakashvil­i said he will not turn himself in, though prosecutor­s were welcome to see him at the camp outside the Supreme Rada where about 100 supporters gathered.
