The Verkhovna Rada commission on law enforcement recommended allowing the mobilization of convicted persons. However, not all will be summoned, UNIAN said.
Two years ago, the Kremlin launched a campaign to mobilize prisoners against amnesty for crimes.
"The committee recommended adopting as a basis bill 11079-1, which allows the mobilization of those sentenced to imprisonment and restriction of freedom,'' the head of the committee Serhiy Jonushas said in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.
However, mobilization will be prohibited for persons convicted of:
crimes against national security;
terrorism
murder of two or more persons;
rape;
pedophilia;
fatal traffic accidents under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Earlier, the Ukrainian parliament's commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lyubinets, said that the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, Valery Zaluzhny, was categorically against the mobilization of prisoners.
We remind you that on February 7, the Verkhovna Rada voted on the first reading of the government bill on mobilization.
The Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence of the Verkhovna Rada said that if it is accepted, it will be possible to mobilize and convict those who are not in prison.
