Ukraine’s Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said it has not yet been decided whether or not Ukraine’s National Guard Vitaliy Markiv will file a lawsuit with the European Court of Human Rights due to his three-year stay in an Italian prison.
Avakov announced this on the air of Savik Shuster’s Freedom of Speech program.
“We will analyze the cassation decision and then decide whether to present it or not,” Avakov said.
Recall that the sergeant major, commander of the Kulchytsky battalion of the Ukrainian National Guard, Vitaly Markiv, was arrested on June 30, 2017 in Italy on suspicion of being involved in the death of the Italian photojournalist Andrea Rocchelli. In July of last year, the National Guard was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
On November 3, Vitaly Markiv was acquitted by the Milan Court of Appeal. Markiv was found not guilty of the murder of Italian journalist Andrea Rocchelli during hostilities in Donbass.
Furthermore, the Interior Ministry said that the Ukrainian side plans to appeal to the European Court from Markiv’s arrest during this time.
Note that Avakov previously called the case against Markiv a hybrid war against Ukraine, as the prosecution is trying to justify pro-Russian militants.
By the way, in the new issue of “Savik Shuster’s Freedom of Speech” on November 6, for the first time after his release from an Italian prison, spoke the National Guard Vitaly Markiv. But the main issue in the problem is whether the time has come to introduce a blockade in Ukraine and, of course, how the American elections will affect the fate of our country. Arsen Avakov, Maxim Stepanov, Petro Poroshenko, David Arakhamia and other representatives of Ukraine’s political elite will provide answers to all questions.
