A paramilitary organization is banned

On 23 November Lviv region court gave the verdict in the case of Evgen Fil and Vasyl Derevlianko, activists of Ternopil organization ‘Stepan Bandera trezub’. They were accused of the creation of the paramilitary organization ‘Trezub’. Both got 18 months of incarceration conditionally. This verdict can form a precedent for several nationalist organizations, such as UNSO, ‘Patriot of Ukraine’, SNPU and similar rightish unions, whose activities can be assessed in the same way.
