A man has painted a swastika and an anti-police phrase on the building of a Jewish canteen in Uman, Ukraine, which could lead to 5 years in prison for using Nazi symbols.
In Uman, a man drew a swastika on the building of a Jewish canteen located near the Hasidic pilgrimage quarter. This was reported in the official telegram channel of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine, the largest all-Ukrainian Jewish organization, UNN reports.
Details
The Jewish community reported that the incident occurred on April 12 near the Bratslav Hasidic pilgrimage quarter.
Judging by the photo, in addition to the swastika, the attacker wrote the phrase A.C.A.B., which is hostile to law enforcement.
The Jewish community does not understand the boy's motives and what prompted him to do this. However, they have already qualified the boy's actions in accordance with the current legislation and noted that he could be imprisoned for 5 years for drawing a swastika.
Such actions may be a violation of Part 3 of Article 173 of the Code of Administrative Offenses or Part 1 of Article 436 of the Criminal Code - on the use of symbols of totalitarian regimes or the manufacture, distribution of communist and Nazi symbols, as well as propaganda of totalitarian regimes. The latter can be punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Today, on Tuesday, 16.04.2024, the inscription was painted over.

As the United Jewish Community of Ukraine has learned, the police promptly identified the offender, and all necessary investigative actions, including an examination, are being taken.
