Law enforcers reported suspected hooliganism to four defenders of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. They face two to five years in prison, the press service of the National Police reported.
The police noted that the reason for the detention was damaged roller shutters on one of the buildings of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
“Law enforcement officers conducted a series of investigative actions and, with the help of analysts from the capital’s central office, identified the four most active participants who committed the offense,” the National Police said.
The department also said that two women (born in 1986 and 1984) and two men (born in 1983 and 2001) were detained:
“The investigators informed the detainees about the suspicion of committing a crime under Part 3 of Art. 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – hooliganism. The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for up to five years.
As reported by the UOJ, the kidnappers of human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska turned out to be police officers.
The UOJ also wrote that the police opened a case against the defenders of the Lavra under the article “hooliganism”.
