Pressure on Journalistic Activity Through the Disclosure of Publicly Important Information from Registers
Draft law No. 10242, submitted by MP Hryhorii Mamka (elected from the banned party OPZZh), strengthens criminal liability for the unauthorized dissemination of confidential information obtained from public registers. These proposed amendments could significantly restrict the work of investigative journalists who expose corruption through investigative reporting. This poses a threat to freedom of speech and Ukraine’s European integration process.
Nearly fifty civil society organizations, media outlets, and journalists called on Members of Parliament not to support this legislative initiative. The statement was published by the Media Movement “Media Movement” on December 17, 2024, and was supported, in particular, by representatives of Detector Media, Zerkalo Nedeli, the civic initiative Holka, Ukrainian Pravda, and other organizations.
The legislative initiative was also criticized by the Chair of the Committee on Freedom of Speech, Yaroslav Yurchyshyn.
