The Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets expressed his strong condemnation of the actions of employees of the TCC (territorial procurement center), who apply physical pressure and abduct citizens of Ukraine right on the streets.
Lubinets believes that CCC do not have the right to demand verification of documents, confiscate them, or physically detain Ukrainian citizens. He emphasizes that such actions are not within their authority.
"The main issue raised by Ukrainian citizens is the inconsistency of the CCC's mandates. This is when they demand to check documents, take away documents, and physically detain Ukrainian citizens. They do not have such rights," he noted.
According to Lubinets, cases where CCC employees use physical force against citizens are particularly indignant. He confirmed that his office receives complaints about such incidents.
“I won’t say that they are systemic, or that there are many of them, but we are also contacted with such cases. It’s very simple. I open proceedings and send all requests. We also sent monitoring inspections to some CCCs,” Lubinets added.
Once the facts are confirmed, the ombudsman brings the matter to the management level for disciplinary consideration, and the higher administration makes a decision on the punishment of its subordinates.
We will remind you that the Executive Committee of the Dnipro City Council approved a draft decision on the creation of special stations for notification and a search group for conscripts on January 12.
