In April, Ukraine did not suspend human rights protection, but partially lifted the restrictions that had been applied earlier, according to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights.

In April, Ukraine did not suspend human rights protection, but rather partially lifted the restrictions that had been applied earlier. This was stated by the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets, commenting on the statement that Ukraine sent to the Council of Europe on a partial temporary derogation from the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, UNN reports.

Recently, one of the media outlets reported that Ukraine had submitted an application to the Council of Europe for a partial derogation from the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms. This caused a resonance both among the media and in society. But the information was distorted. It is not a question of restrictions on human rights, but of partial abolition of restrictions that were applied earlier 

- Lubinets said.

He added that such information is available on the Council of Europe's website, and Ukraine had submitted restrictions before, but they are not currently in place.
