The Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office has handed over the indictment against human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska to the court for her alleged "justification and denial of Russian aggression." This information was announced by the prosecutor's office's press service.
They noted that after February 24, 2022, Kokhanovska allegedly "shared publications on social networks in which she denied the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine." She portrayed it as an internal civil conflict. This was confirmed by the findings of a judicial linguistic examination, according to the prosecutor's office.
The sanction of Article 436, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (justification of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine) under which Kokhanovska is charged, provides for a prison sentence of up to five years or restriction of freedom for up to five years.
As a reminder, the court changed the preventive measure for human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska.
As previously reported by the UOJ, Kokhanovska was subjected to a search due to her "justification of Russian aggression."
