In Kharkiv, a female lawyer was denied entry to the premises of the military medical commission. Force was used against her.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, in Telegram and the Main Department of the National Police of Kharkiv region in Telegram.

Lubinets mentioned that he saw a video on social media where the lawyer was not allowed into the VVK premises at one of the TCKs in Kharkiv.

"Physical force was applied to her by a man in uniform. I consider this disgraceful act unacceptable," he added.

According to the Ombudsman, he instructed his representative in the Kharkiv region, Oksana Chervyakova, to investigate the actual circumstances of the situation. Yesterday, letters were sent to the Kharkiv regional TCK for this purpose.

Additionally, Lubinets stated that he sent a letter to the State Bureau of Investigations regarding the initiation of a criminal case.

"I demand a legal assessment of the actions of the TCK and SP employees and to hold those responsible accountable! I emphasize that everything must be done to eradicate the disgraceful practices of human rights violations and obstruction of legal activities in our state," the Ombudsman stressed.

He reminded that according to the Constitution, every citizen of Ukraine has the right to professional legal assistance.

What the police say

The National Police, in turn, reported that a message was received from the female lawyer about a conflict with employees of the district TCK.

"The 28-year-old woman explained that when she arrived for a meeting with a client who was supposedly undergoing a medical examination, a conflict situation arose with a TCK representative," the law enforcement officers added.

They clarified that the circumstances of the conflict are currently being established.

It is worth noting that earlier the TCK reported the initiation of a service investigation due to the incident involving the lawyer.

Recall that yesterday, January 9, information about a clash between relatives of a "draft dodger" and TCK employees became known. Details of the incident were revealed by the military enlistment office.
