"Stop Censorship!" demands the Security Service of Ukraine explained what international laws and laws of Ukraine led SBU officers and prosecutors, when they called in for questioning blogger Oleg Shinkarenko. Also, activists ask to explain what is legal force of the receipt that writes "he will no longer criticize in rude form the establishment in his LJ blog”, and what sanctions will apply in case of default of its written promises.
In addition, activists are interested in exactly what “some signs of a crime” under Article "threat or violence against the state or public figure" of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are referred in the Statement of Security Service about the incident with Oleg Shynkarenko.
"Stop Censorship!" activists recall the leadership of the Security Service of Ukraine that the activities of the Security Service of Ukraine are clearly regulated by the Law of Ukraine "On Democratic Civilian Control over the Military organization and law enforcement" and is organized with the advice of the Parliamentary Assembly from 1999 and 2005 according to which Ukraine's duties and commitments arising from membership in the Council of Europe are performed.

Legal order in Ukraine is based on the principles according to which no one can be forced to do what is not required by law.
State authorities and local governments and their officials are obliged to act on the basis, within the authority and in the manner envisaged by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine.
Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Article 7:
