In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the TCC detained a father raising eight children without a stay of execution
In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, representatives of the territorial recruitment center detained a man—who is raising eight children deprived of parental care in a family-type children’s home—for more than four hours.
The man, who was subject to military service, had a legal right to be exempt from conscription, but he was nearly mobilized because he had not submitted the necessary documents to the Territorial Recruitment Center on time.
The situation was resolved only after Dmytro Lubinets, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, intervened in the case, thanks to which the man was allowed to undergo a military medical examination to legally confirm his status. The Ombudsman emphasized that guardians, adoptive parents, and foster parents of minors must submit documents in a timely manner through the Administrative Services Center (ASC) or the “Reserve+” app, as deferrals are not granted automatically in Ukraine. In this regard, Dmytro Lubinets stated the need for a systematic reform of mobilization procedures so that citizens with a legal right to deferment do not have to prove it directly while being detained on the street.
This was reported by Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets.
Police in Zakarpattia Oblast confirmed that a man with physical injuries was hospitalized after being held at one of the district territorial centers for recruitment and social support. The man later died in the hospital.
In the Ternopil region, the specialized defense prosecutor’s office opened a criminal investigation into possible instances of unlawful deprivation of liberty of citizens at the premises of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center. The investigation was initiated based on the findings of a monitoring visit and materials provided by law enforcement agencies and the Human Rights Commissioner.
