The Kyiv Court of Appeal is considering an appeal by the defense of MP Mykola Tyshchenko, a suspect in the case of the illegal imprisonment of a former military man in Dnipro, against the ruling to impose a preventive measure in the form of round-the-clock house arrest, reports a UNN correspondent.
Details
"It is the round-the-clock house arrest that violates the relevant provisions of the law on the status of a people's deputy, in fact, he was suspended from his activities as a deputy in an extra-legal way," said Tyshchenko's lawyer.
The defense believes that a measure of restraint in the form of a personal commitment will be sufficient for Tyshchenko.

Addendum
On June 25, Kyiv's Pecherskyi District Court placed MP Mykola Tyshchenko, who was served with a notice of suspicion by the State Bureau of Investigation over the illegal detention of a former serviceman in Dnipro, under round-the-clock house arrest for 60 days with an electronic bracelet.
Context
A videowas posted on social media showing a man being beaten in Dnipro by the alleged bodyguards of MP Mykola Tyshchenko, who was visiting the city. The video shows unidentified men in military uniforms without insignia beating a man handcuffed. The man who was attacked was carrying a baby carriage.
Later, a full version of the video with the conflict appeared, in which Tyshchenko also appears. As the media found out, the man who was handcuffed is a veteran of the Kraken unit. The conflict allegedly occurred because the MP was walking around the city in a military uniform, although he has nothing to do with military service and is not a veteran.
Local law enforcement officials said they did not cooperate with Tyshchenko. The police opened two criminal proceedings: on the fact of inflicting light bodily harm and illegal deprivation of liberty. Tyshchenko himself explained the situation on social media by saying that "the military man had allegedly attacked the police" and also stated that the military man was allegedly the head of security at the bot farm.
At the same time, Tyshchenko added that he did not have a bodyguard. In addition, Tyshchenko claims that it was a provocation. According to him, the former soldier served in the Kraken unit, but was discharged due to his mother's health condition. Tyshchenko also emphasized that the victim is no longer a military man.
Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak condemned MP Tyshchenko's shameful behavior and his conflict with the military, hinting that law enforcement agencies should respond accordingly.
Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin served suspicion on MP Tyshchenko over the illegal imprisonment of a former military special unit of the GUR Kraken in Dnipro.
