This powerful new tactic used by protesters in Ukraine forces the opposition to reflect on their actions. On Dec. 30 at noon, protesters in Kiev held mirrors up at police officers for a full 30 minutes, to commemorate the night of Nov. 30 when riot police used excessive force to break up a peaceful rally on Independence Square. The mirrors seemed to say, “Look at what you have become.” Protestors held posters that read, “Who and what are you protecting?”
