Ukrainian police and demonstrators at a tent camp have clashed outside the parliament building in the capital, Kiev. Police say 50 people were detained.

The Interfax news agency quoted a top police official, Andrey Kryshchenko, as saying that six protesters sought medical help after the Saturday morning clash and four officers were injured

The tent camp was set up in October last year by supporters of Mikheil Saakashvili, the former Georgian president, who became a prominent opposition figure in Ukraine. Saakashvili was deported from Ukraine on February 12.
