QuotePROTESTERS were massing when, suddenly, thousands of cell-phones chimed in unison: "Dear subscriber ... you are a participant in a mass disturbance". It's real. It just happened in Ukraine.
Among the draconian measures introduced this week are:
-Participating in "mass disruptions" will incur 10-15 years imprisonment
-You can be convicted by a court in absentia
-MPs can be arrested during sessions of parliament
-It is forbidden to drive a car in a column larger than five vehicles long.
-It is illegal to set up an unauthorised sound system
-You will be jailed for 15 days if you put up a tent
-Distributing "extremist opinion" will attract a three-year jail term
-Group violation of public orders will land you in the cooler for two years
-The government can disable the internet at will
-Many are interpreting the moves as a deliberate attempt to incite unrest in order to invoke even more extreme legislation.
