‼️Deputies want to jail journalists for 8 years for exposing their corruption, illegal enrichment, and hidden assets — the scandalous bill is being pushed in the Rada again, — media
📍The bill has been reintroduced into the Rada's agenda. It provides for up to 8 years in prison for illegally copying information from closed state registers during martial law.
📍Investigations of hidden apartments, expensive cars, undeclared assets, and officials' foreign trips are under threat.
📍Law enforcement will be able to wiretap journalists and monitor their sources as part of investigations into such criminal cases.
📍Even whistleblower protections do not guarantee the safety of journalists who publish obtained data. Commissions that check officials' integrity are also at risk.
📍To advance the bill, deputies added a partial repeal of the “Lozovyi amendments,” the full repeal of which is demanded by the EU and the IMF.
📍They tried to pass these changes back in 2024, but previous attempts failed. Now the document is being brought back for a vote.
Not the Verkhovna Rada, but some gang of bandits 🤬
