On October 15, the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal will hear the case Civil Safety Academy (CSA), which opposes the illegal actions of law enforcement officers. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, guided by sub-legal Instruction No. 622, creates artificial obstacles for centers engaged in the training of volunteers.
Judges Volodymyr Alimenko, Lyudmila Belova and Andriy Kuchma will hear the CSA's appeal, which seeks to overturn parts of the Instruction that hinder the country's defense capabilities. The trial court previously dismissed the lawsuit, fearing that it would violate the review process.
Illegal revisions and sealing in the style of the 90s. All this happened to the civil defense project, Civil Security, which was critically needed in wartime conditions. Over the past year, CSA centers have trained over 40,000 citizens ready to defend Ukraine. Among them are volunteers and servicemen of various structures, including the Security Service of the SBU.
Instruction No. 622, on which the Ministry of Internal Affairs relies, allows interference in the activities of businesses and volunteer organizations in a way that contradicts the Laws and Constitution of Ukraine. Violation of the law is not an argument for law enforcement officers, because they still follow the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs from 1998.
We demand that inspections take place in accordance with the Law, and not according to outdated instructions. Entrepreneurs and volunteers helping to train defenders are the foundation of Ukraine's defense capability. The state should support them, not create obstacles!
