Ukrainian Parliamentarian Suggests Jailing Freemasons
MosNews
Ukrainian MP Taras Chornovil has suggested that the country's
parliament, the Supreme Rada, introduce criminal responsibility for
Freemasonry, the MigNews web-site reported on Tuesday.
Taras Chornovil is the son of the late nationalist leader Vyacheslav
Chornovil, and his appointment as an adviser to presidential candidate
Viktor Yanukovich on West-Ukrainian affairs earlier this year provoked
much criticism in nationalist circles. He will head Yanukovich's
campaign headquarters in the repeat of the controversial second round
of Ukrainian presidential elections.
He has submitted to the Rada a bill entitled "On amendments to the
Criminal Code of Ukraine", according to which, membership of
Freemason organizations, or any other organizations that require
rituals and oaths of higher priority than the current law, must be
punished by a jail sentence of up to three years.
The bill also reads that the members of Masonic organizations who are
Ukrainian civil servants, law enforcers or military servicemen must be
jailed for three to seven years.
Ukraine's president, members of parliament, civil servants of
ministerial rank, military servicemen and law enforcers of the rank of
major-general or higher, if discovered to be members of Freemason
organizations, may face up to 10 years in prison.
If the membership in a Masonic organization causes deaths, a threat to
Ukraine's national integrity or its defense potential, members of the
organization must be imprisoned for 10 to 15 years, the bill reads.
In February, the leader of Ukraine's Socialist Party, Aleksander
Moroz, said that about 300 of Ukraine's top officials were members of
the St. Stanislaus Order Masonic Lodge. Later, other left-wing parties
and also the pro-Western bloc headed by Yulia Tymoshenko also called on
the government to ban the St Stanislaus Order in Ukraine.
