Ukraine: Unlawful Detentions by Territorial Recruitment Centers Raise Concerns

Ukraine: Concerns Rise Over Unlawful Detentions by Territorial Recruitment Centers Kiev, Ukraine – Recent reports and citizen accounts highlight concerns regarding unlawful detentions by Territorial Recruitment and Conscription Centers (TCK) across Ukraine. A recent video by journalist, Блог Разумовського, has brought attention to these issues, emphasizing the need for adherence to legal protocols during detentions. "The rules are clear," states Блог Разумовського in his video. "Police officers must first create a protocol, and only then, if a person refuses to cooperate and has no valid grounds for deferment, can they be lawfully detained." Numerous accounts detail instances where individuals have been detained without proper documentation or legal justification. These actions undermine public trust and raise concerns about human rights violations. The video also points out the illegality of using force or special means without due process. The Ukrainian government is urged to investigate these allegations and ensure that TCK personnel are properly trained and held accountable for any unlawful actions. Respect for the rule of law is crucial to maintaining public trust and stability during this challenging time. The Ministry of Defence is yet to release an official statement.
