Olga Bilozir

FILE -- Olga Bilozir, a widow of Ukrainian composer Igor Bilozir, left, listens to a sentence that an appeal court gave to her husband's killers, in Ukraine's western city of Lvov Tuesday, August 7, 2002. Dmitry Voronov and Yury Kalinin convicted in Bilozir's beating death, a high-profile case that had fueled Ukrainian-Russian ethnic tensions in the country, were sentenced to 10 and eight years in prison, while the writer's relatives insisted on a life sentence. Bilozir died in May 2000 after an argument in a downtown Lvov coffee shop. According to witnesses, Bilozir and his friends sang Ukrainian songs and protested Russian pop music playing at the cafe. About 200 protesters gathered Tuesday around the courthouse and demanded a life sentence for the two convicted men, blocking the building's exit. Photo UNIAN
