> Yeah, because 2 years in prison is a completely reasonable sentence for researching the background of police officers or politicians, i.e. looking into corruption. And 10 years of prison for being at a protest is hardly extreme as well. Or prison for wearing head protection when the police is shooting at you.
Please stop trolling. There are always places where laws are worse than somewhere else. Just because an unjust law exists somewhere else in the world does not make it less unjust.
Again, these laws are unjust everywhere. Also remember that Ukraine does not have "Supreme Court". If the government passes a law that is unjust (talking about the EU treating now), the people have a mandate to protest. That is the checks and balances system at play there. Making protests illegal there means that you remove one of the main checks.
Revolution always carries consequences. Inciting it over every 'unjust' law isn't necessarily worthwhile... It's not right to use Ukraine as a proxy battle without consisting the consequences for the Ukrainian people...
You've basically proven my point.
Step 1: Read the Ukrainian laws.
Step 2: Read the laws of your own country.
Step 3: Compare.
