Dmytro Lubinets, the Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada, has accused the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, of spreading falsehoods. Türk stated that the bill banning the UOC does not comply with international law and threatens freedom of religion in Ukraine. Lubinets made this accusation in his Telegram channel.
According to Lubinets, the High Commissioner is speaking "falsehood" when claiming that bill No. 8371, prohibiting the UOC, is aimed at banning the denomination.
"In my opinion, there is currently no violation of believers' rights in Ukraine," added the ombudsman.
As reported by the UOJ, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern about religious freedom in Ukraine.
