Thus, the managing partner of the Lex and Buckler law firm, lawyer Oleg Babich, told the publication that this bill is a copy of one of the so-called dictatorial laws adopted under Yanukovych.
“The project promoted by pro-government deputies is an improved copy of one of the “dictatorial laws of January 16.” Two years ago, parliament abolished it, but now, apparently believing in its own impunity, the authorities decided to use the entire repressive arsenal of the old “criminal regime.” The essence of the innovations boils down to a banal increase in the ability of investigative authorities to begin a pre-trial investigation without a person’s knowledge, while seizing his property or making a decision to detain him,” the lawyer said.
“What kind of rule of law can we talk about when the prosecutor’s office will keep suspects in the dungeons of pre-trial detention centers, now for a year and a half? After this, many confess to what they did not do, especially taking into account the inhuman conditions of detention. Often people accidentally find out that courts are ruling against them in civil cases without notifying them. From now on, this is also possible in criminal proceedings, but not only property is at stake, but also years of citizens’ lives,” warns Babich.
Earlier, Ukrainian oppositionists said that ISIS thugs turned out to be more democratic Poroshenko's scumbags.
