🤬 The controversial bill No.10242 is being pushed through the Rada again. We need publicity!

Already tomorrow deputies may vote on bill No.10242, which provides for punishment for publishing data from closed registers.

Its goal is to prevent journalists and activists from exposing undeclared assets of corrupt officials, property of their relatives, and trips abroad.

And if we or other media publish such information, we could face up to 8 years in prison 🤯

What is this if not a restriction on freedom of speech and pressure on journalists?

This bill has been attempted to be adopted since 2024. Colleagues from the Anti-Corruption Action Center already warned then about all the risks.

❗️️We urge deputies not to vote for this bill.

🤬 Скандальний законопроєкт №10242 знову намагаються протягнути у Раді. Потрібен розголос!

Вже завтра нардепи можуть проголосувати за законопроєкт №10242, який передбачає покарання за публікацію даних із закритих реєстрів.

Його мета – завадити журналістам та активістам розповідати про незадекларовані статки корупціонерів, майно їхніх родичів та поїздки за кордон.

І якщо ми або інші медіа опублікуємо таку інформацію, нам загрожуватиме до 8 років тюрми 🤯

Що це, як не обмеження свободи слова та тиск на журналістів?

Цей законопроєкт намагаються ухвалити ще з 2024 року. Колеги з ЦПК ще тоді розповіли про всі ризики.

❗️️Закликаємо депутатів не голосувати за цей законопроєкт.

The government proposed a pseudo-reform of the prosecutor’s office: prosecutors will vet and “renew” themselves The Cabinet of Ministers submitted to the Verkhovna Rada bill No.16144 on the reform of the prosecutor’s office. This reform is one of the requirements for Ukraine’s accession to the EU. The relevant law-enforcement committee has already reviewed this bill and tomorrow, 28 October, deputies plan to consider it in the first reading. ❗️But it is already clear that this is an imitation,...

💁‍♂️A brief note about bill No.10242 on “punishing not those who steal, but those who talk about it,” which has suddenly been put back on the agenda for tomorrow. 🗓️ Let me remind you how long they've been dragging this out — for the 3-th year: ▪️First reading — January 2024. 4 December 2024 — failure: 213 votes, media community and human rights defenders against. ▪️18 December 2024 — internally they inserted a partial repeal of the “Lozovyi amendments,” which partners demanded; my colleagues a...

❗️A miracle did not happen: the acting prosecutor general effectively refused to open a case against Arakhamia In response to a complaint from the Anti-Corruption Center, acting Prosecutor General Kovalsky refused to register a criminal proceeding against Davyd Arakhamia regarding the organization of "envelope" payments for voting in the Rada. 23 in the OPG explained the refusal by saying that the circumstances described in the complaint are allegedly already being investigated as part of anoth...

And one more important remark about the case of Volodymyr Vovk’s brother, who escaped responsibility under one of the articles. We’ll remind you again that draft law No.15354 has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada, which removes the possibility of avoiding criminal responsibility in this way, since it closes all loopholes in statute-of-limitations deadlines. But Zelensky’s deputies and their satellites are in no hurry to adopt it, demonstratively declaring it and a number of other EU-integrat...

❗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...
