KIEV, Feb. 10 - Ukraine's parliament voted on Tuesday to approve a presidential proposal to dismiss the General Prosecutor, criticized by deputies and activists for failing to roll out reforms and bring justice for those killed in last year's "Euromaidan" revolution, Reuters reported.
Vitaliy Yarema was appointed last June after the toppling of Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovych following months of street protests.
He has since faced criticism for the slow pace of investigations into alleged crimes of the Yanukovych era against protesters, over one hundred of whom were killed in clashes with riot police.
