Ukraine's parliament is expected to vote on plans to
scrap a new anti-protest law in a special session called over the ongoing
unrest in the country.
President
Viktor Yanukovych has offered to repeal the legislation, but it is unclear
whether MPs will back him, reports GHN according to BBC.
In a call to Mr
Yanukovych on Monday, US Vice President Joe Biden urged the government to
repeal what he called the "anti-democratic" protest law.
Parliament
is due to tackle other opposition demands, such as an amnesty for arrested
activists.
Mr
Yanukovych offered an amnesty only if protesters cleared barricades and stopped
attacking government buildings. So far, there has been no sign of protesters
leaving the streets.He made the concessions during talks with the three
opposition leaders on Monday.
Demonstrators have
demanded the legislation be repealed, but they also want the president to stand
down.
