Lubinec explained whether the TCCs can confiscate cell phones and forcibly put people on vans
Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, explained how mobilization should take place in accordance with the law. In particular, he clarified whether employees of the Territorial Mobilization Centers and Special Purpose Units have the right to confiscate citizens’ cell phones and forcibly place them on vehicles.
Lubinec noted that he recorded a short and clear video in which he explained the rules for conducting mobilization activities in accordance with the law, rather than through coercion.
Remember these simple rules.
TCK and SP employees are permitted to:
- check military registration documents;
- serve summonses and other documents in accordance with the law;
- refer individuals to the Military Medical Commission;
- maintain military registration records.
Employees of the TCC and SP are prohibited from:
- use physical force or threats;
- confiscate phones, documents, or personal belongings;
- ignore deferments or health conditions;
- detain you at the TCC or SP premises without legal grounds.
I have emphasized time and again: the legacy of the previous leadership of the Ministry of Defense must not be repeated. Violations of rights during mobilization are also the responsibility of the new Commander-in-Chief.
Schemes to evade mobilization are being exposed across Ukraine.
In Kyiv, a scheme to evade mobilization involving a former official was uncovered.
The SBU and the National Police have uncovered 12 schemes to evade mobilization in eight regions.
