An angry mob outside the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev threw MP Vitaly Zhuravsky into a rubbish bin on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n

According to the\u00a0Russian\u00a0news agency ITAR-Tass, Mr Zhuravskyi was an adviser to the country’s pro-Russian former president Viktor Yanukovych who was ousted earlier this year after months of anti-government protests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Activists have accused him of authorising a controversial defamation law, which journalists said was restricting the country’s media freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The footage, which was posted on YouTube on Tuesday, shows Mr Zhuravskyi being seized by protesters as he walked through a crowd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He is then pushed towards a large metal bin, before being picked up and bundled into it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Every time he tries to get up and climb out, he is pushed back down into the bin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I’m doing my job,” he can be heard shouting at one point.<\/p>\n

“You are doing your job? But we live in this country and look at the ongoing bloodshed,” one of the activists replies.<\/p>\n

“Honour to\u00a0Ukraine! Honour to the heroes! Who will be the next? Let’s take him to his car.”<\/p>\n

Mr Zhuravskyi eventually manages to make his way out of the bin.<\/p>\n
