“This is not the UOC”: Ukrainian ombudsman appealed to the UN with a demand to protect the inactive temple of the OCU in Crimea

Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has appealed to the UN over the dismantling of the dome on the inactive church of the OCU in Simferopol. According to him, Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian churches on the peninsula, arrest and torture clergymen and persecute representatives of religious communities that are disloyal to the Russian Federation. About this he wrote in his Telegram channel.

“The Russian Federation continues to demonstrate to the world that nothing stops them in the destruction of the Ukrainian national identity, the elimination of the Ukrainian Church, the Ukrainian language, Ukrainian culture. I urge the world community to respond to another crime against the freedom of worldview and religion of the believers of the Crimean diocese of the PCU”,- said Lubinets.

It should be noted that Dmytro Lubinets has repeatedly demonstrated loyalty to the OCU, at the same time not noticing the violation of the rights of believers of the UOC, about which he was repeatedly notified. Earlier, we reported that the Ukrainian parliamentary commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets, considered undeserved the criticism of Ukraine by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk over the draft law No 8371 “on banning religious organizations affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and controlled from the Russian Federation”.
