Denisova: Offices of Human Rights Commissioner to operate in each region in 2019

Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Liudmyla Denisova wrote this on her Facebook page.

“Starting from next year, we are expanding the regional network of Ombudsman representative offices. From 2019, such offices will be opened in each region,” Denisova wrote.

In addition, according to her, to ensure the freedom of choice in Ukraine, 17 public monitors will work across the country during the presidential election in the spring of 2019.

“During the presidential election, we, together with [the Civil Network] OPORA, will analyze the activities of law enforcement agencies and the courts regarding the investigation into electoral crimes. In addition, public monitors will work with voters to protect their rights in all regions of Ukraine,” Denisova wrote.

She also added that after the presidential election, additional trainings will be held for election monitors and, if necessary, their number will be increased during the parliamentary elections in the autumn of 2019.
