Oh where's the Bible thumper Mike Pence when you need him? Hell, supporting nazis...that's where he is. Tucker just called zelensky and Pence out on the jailing of priests and nuns a few days ago and just like clock work, our favorite fascist bunker runt does it again. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-jails-senior-orthodox-cleric-russia-demands-release "A senior figure in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) was placed in pretrial detention. Cleric Metropolitan Pavlo is facing charges for voicing opinions deemed too pro-Russian. A Kiev court ordered Pavlo to jail on Saturday. The cleric’s bail was nearly $900,000, and he could remain in pretrial detention for a month." So much for freedom of speech and religion in our favorite nazi shithole ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has waged a culture war. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) has been a primary target of the "derussification" campaign. On December 1, Zelensky announced that Kiev would attempt to expel all religious institutions with ties to Russia, arguing the move would make "it impossible for religious organizations affiliated with centers of influence in the Russian Federation to operate in Ukraine." Kiev further ratcheted up the campaign to erase the UOC by seizing the assets and placing travel bans on several of the church’s top officials. Additionally, a series of raids by Ukrainian police targeted the UOC. Zelensky’s derussification campaign has extended far beyond the UOC. Kiev has nationalized the media, renamed public places named for Russian historical figures, banned books printed in Russian and outlawed political parties representing Ukraine’s ethnic Russians.
Tough bail conditions set for Ukraine Orthodox cleric Reuters July 14, 20234:43 PM CDT Updated 7 days ago July 14 (Reuters) - A Kyiv court on Friday ordered pre-trial detention for a senior cleric of a branch of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church with historic links to Moscow on suspicion of sympathising with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. ... On Thursday, Ukraine's SBU security service said it advised Pavlo of new allegations in connection with a media interview he gave in which he is alleged to have denied the existence of Ukraine as a sovereign state. Allegations also focus on testimony that he violated the terms of his house arrest outside Kyiv and had been seen by the 1,000-year-old Pechersk, or Caves, monastery in the city centre. ... https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/tough-bail-conditions-set-ukraine-orthodox-cleric-2023-07-14/ I suppose it's a delicate issue, having a pro-naZi church with links to the naZi church and extremists like this guy supporting the naZi invasion. It's not easy dealing with religious extremism, especially in the midst of a war such as this one. One thing I know is that a pro-Ukrainian character like this would not be tolerated in ruZZia. They don't even tolerate people silently holding up protest signs in public places.
Ahhh....yes...ZH Bill? Another RU rag of a news outlet. Why you dumping on Pence??....he was Trumps "wingman".....I thought they were tight??
The Espionage Act (US, WWI), the detention of Oswald Mosely (UK, WWII), the Suspension of Habeas Corpus (US, Civil War), Article 58 (USSR, 1930s-1980s), the arrest of Igor Girkin (Russia, 5 hours ago). Ukraine's actions are not without precedent, if someone aids your enemy in a time of war, they become the enemy.
