Pro-European Union activists block riot police near a Svyatoshin police station in Kyiv, Ukraine, Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014.

Ukraine＇s former interior minister and current opposition leader Yurliy Lutsenko has been hospitalized in intensive care after being beaten in clashes that erupted between pro-European Union demonstrators and club-wielding police.

The encounter occurred late Friday, after a Kyiv court sentenced three men to six years in prison for plotting in 2011 to blow up a statue of Soviet Union founder Vladimir Lenin.

Local news reports in Ukraine aired footage of badly beaten protestors, including Lutsenko, who was reportedly hit on the head.

Anti-government protesters have filled the streets of Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities since November, when President Viktor Yanukovych suddenly reversed positions and refused to sign a trade deal with the European Union, opting instead for stronger ties with Russia. Since then, Moscow has promised to buy $15 billion in Ukrainian debt and cut the price of Russian gas to Ukraine to strengthen the struggling economy.

The demonstrators are calling on the government to honor its promise to sign the deal with the EU.
