KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Several dozen journalists rallied outside Ukraine’s Interior Ministry in Kiev on Monday, accusing police of standing by while two journalists covering an opposition rally were beaten.

Olha Snitsarchuk, a journalist with Channel 5 TV, and her husband, Vladislav Sodel, a photographer with the Kommersant newspaper, were punched and kicked Saturday by a group of beefy young men as they attempted to record a clash between those men and opposition activists during a protest.
