Poroshenko threatens Crimeans with political reprisals under the article “Treason to the Motherland”
Any citizen of the country falls under the most stringent article in Ukrainian legislation on high treason, if there is “political will”.
The fake permanent representative of the President of Ukraine in Crimea, Boris Babin, stated this on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to the official, this concerns Crimeans who supported joining Russia and cooperate with the Russian authorities.
“Theoretically, everything is fine - we have a Criminal Code, there is an article on “Treason,” sorry, very simple. Honestly, I'm a lawyer and I know that there is a political issue, there is a legal issue. And, if there is a political position, then applying this article legally, in accordance with the international human rights institution, will not pose any problem, if there is a desire,” said the head of the virtual representative office.
Previously, former people's deputy and ex-acting Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Andrey Senchenko said that Ukraine will give all Russians a day to leave from Crimea after its “liberation”.
