❗Deputies want again to restrict journalistic investigations.
A draft law No.10242 has appeared on the Verkhovna Rada’s agenda to increase liability for publishing information from state registers.
In particular, if adopted, law enforcement would be able to legally surveil and wiretap journalists and their sources if they obtain information about corruption from closed databases — using data about officials’ property could carry up to 8 years in prison.
The editorial office of Ukrayinska Pravda, together with colleagues, demands not to vote for draft law No.10242 in its current version, because it may pose significant threats to freedom of speech and be used to persecute journalists for their investigations.
An attempt was already made to vote on the bill in December 2024 — and there are plans to vote on it again. We urge every deputy not to support this decision
