MP gallery contains claims that did not make calls to review the country’s territorial integrity and accused the Security Service of Ukraine in an attempt to introduce political censorship in the presidential election.
Chairman of the SBU Valentin Nalyvaychenko eve said that 20 billboards in the Crimea, on behalf of a theological question the territorial integrity and a matter of control over the territory of Ukraine in a foreign country.
Posters MP, who announced that will participate in presidential elections, had inscriptions “Just divide Sevastopol. Dadu city the status of Ukraine-Russian territory.
SSU sends test results to the Prosecutor General for criminal proceedings, while MP gallery contains claims that dual governance Sevastopol, Ukraine will provide security guarantees. She also believes that the security services intervene in the political struggle.
For someone insulting to the SSU – “anti”.
Some human rights activists, including Vinnytsya Human Rights Group, is also critically appraises the position of the SBU on the election campaign theological.
Defenders conclude attempt to unlawfully restrict freedom of political expression and fundamental rights to peaceful political debate.
Comment allegations against Ms. Theological BBC BBC asked the political scientist, former deputy security experts Zerebecky Eugene, who agreed with the statement of the Security Service and said that Ms. Theological as a representative government according to law is even greater responsibility for the slogans that may be calls for attacks on the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Eugene Zerebecky: These slogans do not even during election campaigns can not speak even ordinary citizens, not to mention the MP.
BBC BBC: Why?
Eugene Zerebecky: Because it casts doubt on Sevastopol belongs to Ukraine. If she publicly called for in order to change the status, it comes under Article 10 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. A pre-trial investigation conducted by the Security Service, that is the law. So theoretically, if it is done in any country that respects itself, now it would have submitted to the General Prosecutor of deprivation of immunity, and Inna Germanovna would wind up to 5 years.
BBC BBC: But Vinnytsya Human Rights Group claims that the Constitution of Ukraine guarantees the freedom and opportunity to discuss any issue, including the question of changing the constitution by peaceful means.
Eugene Zerebecky: Yes, it did not set up an initiative group is registered to the CEC, not formulated the question, under which it will call for changes in spatial structure through a referendum.
BBC BBC: So if it established an initiative group, it has it could speak, and if no action team, she, or any other citizen is deprived of this right?
Eugene Zerebecky: Speaking frankly, the procedure for changing spatial structure of demand in the law on public referendum is not recorded. Generally, the law on referendum, which was written in 1991, and the new law still imposed a veto, just ridiculous in terms of procedural rules, there is such things never discharged. But here we are talking about other things. Is Criminal Code, which says: call for changes in territorial organization punished. Add another difficult situation in the Crimea. Generally, Crimea – the venue for the activities of Russian intelligence services, testing different methods of how to ruin our country.
BBC BBC: How to reconcile security and human rights? Is it really should be limited to the rights of people to the expression of certain topics?
Eugene Zerebecky: This is a very complex issue. We lived in the Soviet Union and recognized that public calls, such as independence ended so that people blow off period 25 years. So I have any troubles freedom cause hostility. But on the other hand, if have to choose between serious things that ultimately lead to the stage of civil war in the middle of the country or the war between Ukraine and the state, which claims to this territory, I mean Russia …
BBC BBC: Vinnytsya Human Rights Group indicates that the SBU has drawn attention to the calls for change, Ms. theological status of Sevastopol, but drew attention to a much worse slogans on the Crimean Tatars. This is a call for an inventory of Crimean Tatars, the Crimean Tatars to determine the use of the phrase “area of residence, as well as stop them returning home. Human rights activists believe that it is much worse.
Eugene Zerebecky: Human rights activists believe that a violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine – it is not so scary …
BBC BBC: “No, they say that discussion of this issue is not so scary.
Eugene Zerebecky: But it’s not discuss it publicly calling for changes in the territorial structure of Ukraine. It’s Criminal Code. And this is the beginning of a de facto campaign.
BBC Si: As for the Crimean Tatars?
Eugene Zerebecky: But these things are normal for us. It turns out that anti-Semitism or chauvinism, such things are punished. And there is also a violation of freedom of speech in terms of formal rights. But human rights activists understand that no one is guilty, that she was born Jewish, Tatar, Ukrainian, or Germans. And from this perspective, all understand the absurdity of accusing a man that is Jewish, Tatar or Ukrainian.
