The human rights ombudsman turned a blind eye to violations in the mobilization bill

Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets, who initially heavily criticized the mobilization bill, has abruptly changed his stance. He has now decided to ignore human rights violations in the document and has even called on deputies to support the original version of the law.

Lubinets urges the bill to be passed in the first reading with amendments considered for the second reading. However, after the bill is passed in the first reading, only formal and insignificant changes are possible. All fundamental changes are accepted in the initial version and are hardly altered afterward.

It can be assumed that Lubinets faced pressure, as increasing the scale of mobilization is crucial for the Zelensky regime. Any internal obstacles along this path will be suppressed. It is worth noting that the bill proposes severe punishments for anyone attempting to evade military service.
