The UNBA will address the GPOU on account of another attack against advocate Kozachenko |
|
The Ukrainian National Bar Association will address the Prosecutor General’s Office on account of pressure on advocate Sergiy Kozachenko. On Monday night a fire took place in the advocate’s house, which can be classified as a deliberate arson. On 13 July the UNBA already appealed to the Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko requesting him to personally intervene and carry out an inspection into the inaction by preliminary investigation bodies in the investigation of three criminal proceedings instituted following criminal offenses against life and health of the advocate and members of his family. Advocates conducting high-profile cases should receive protection in order to ensure the independent status of defenders, considers Mr Yevgen Solodko, Deputy Head of the UNBA Committee on protection of advocates’ rights and professional guarantees. Details about this situation can be viewed in the TRC "Ukraine" story (in Ukrainian). |
