A new legislation issued in Ukraine violates many of people's constitutional rights

On Tuesday, the public council for freedom of speech and information spread a statement "on attempts of the governmental authority to restrict the freedom of speech on the Ukrainian Internet." The statement says that the legislation suggested by the government applies to the national component of the Internet, the local network systems and other objects of modern automated information technologies, including personal data media. Thorough examination of the legislation gives every reason to believe that implementation of the document will result in establishment of total control over objects of the informatization sphere (the national component of the Internet first of all) that will be performed by law enforcement authorities and other governmental authorities.

Implementation of the new legislation may entail violation of people's constitutional rights: the freedom of speech; the right to chose, store and spread information; the right for inviolability of private life and the right for privacy of correspondence.
