Former representative of the Ukrainian Ombudsman noted that the U.S. State Department has observed systematic violations of believers' rights in the country.Mykhailo Chaplyha, former representative of the Ukrainian Ombudsman, stated that as a result of the adoption of anti-church Law 8371, believers whose rights are systematically violated can appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and win cases there.
"The state, due to the political folly of the deputies, will have to either amend or repeal the Law and pay a lot of money to those whose rights are systematically violated," he wrote.
The expert listed the provisions that the legislative initiative contradicts:
It contradicts Articles 2, 17, 18, and 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which, after ratification, is an integral part of Ukraine's legal framework; It contradicts Articles 18 and 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; It directly contradicts Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights; It also contradicts the UN Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief.

"The practice of the ECHR shows that the issue of religious freedoms is very 'vulnerable' – i.e., 'sensitive', and in almost 100 out of 100 cases, the ECHR sides with the applicant. And since the violation is systematic based on the Law, the complaint procedure is as simple and swift," noted Chaplyha.
The former representative of the Ukrainian Ombudsman also stated that the U.S. State Department report noted violations of freedom of conscience and religion in Ukraine, and he reminded that several politicians in the U.S. Congress are already openly calling for sanctions against Ukraine if such a bill is passed.
"It seems that someone really wants to open a second front against Ukraine during the war... an internal one. And to sow discord and aggression... Poroshenko, as usual, has started to pedal this topic..." concluded Chaplyha.

◾️The U.S. Department of State criticizes the religious policy of the Ukrainian authorities.

The scale of lawlessness has already crossed all possible limits. And with God's help and your support, dear brothers and sisters, the voice of truth has reached Washington.

Repressions are seen. People can see how intimidation and propaganda are preparing the ground for bill 8371, which plans to ban totally, that is, to destroy the Church.

It is at this moment that the US State Department publishes a new report on religious freedom in Ukraine, drawing attention to numerous violations of the rights of believers and clergy of the UOC.

Today we will analyze the State Department's report and tell you what cases it is about.

?? The Georgian Parliament has passed a package of bills in the first reading that bans the LGBT movement.

The Ukrainian Parliament has not yet gathered enough signatures from MPs to vote on the ban of the UOC.In the Verkhovna Rada, 221 signatures from members of parliament have been collected to bring Bill No. 8371, aimed at effectively banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, to a second reading vote. According to LB.ua, only MPs from the "European Solidarity" and "Holos" parties have signed the bill in full.
"LB.ua received a list of those who refused to sign. It includes 146 MPs, particularly those currently under investigation, such as Nestor Shufrych. Among those who did not support the bill are about 90 MPs from the 'Servant of the People' party. Two MPs from 'Batkivshchyna' did not support it. Only one MP, Yuriy Zahorodny, supported it from the 'Platform for Life and Peace' (formerly OPZZh). The factions 'European Solidarity' and 'Holos' fully signed the bill 'On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Activities of Religious Organizations in Ukraine' (No. 8371)," the report states.
According to LB.ua, there are currently 221 signatures "for" the bill. Previously, the speaker of parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, stated that 240 signatures from MPs are needed for Bill No. 8371 to be considered.
LB.ua reports that after the National Prayer Breakfast (scheduled for this Saturday, July 29), about seven Protestant MPs from various parliamentary groups might join the initiative.

According to an American lawyer, President Zelensky, after receiving U.S. funding, is ready to come down on the UOC again.Robert Amsterdam, head of the international human rights firm Amsterdam & Partners LLP, stated that while Volodymyr Zelensky was preaching peace and reconstruction in Europe, at the same time his people were supervising the ongoing elimination of the 1000-year-old Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He wrote about this on his X.
"The attempt to divide Ukrainian Orthodox and force state intervention into religion, and doing so in secret, is both repulsive and opportunistic," underscored the human rights defender. After securing his funding, he (Zelensky – Ed.) seems willing to show his true colors – and we are very concerned for the impact on human rights."
