Hacker attacks are launched on the official website of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights due to publications about Ukrainian political prisoners held in the Russian Federation and in the temporarily occupied Crimea. This was reported by Liudmyla Denisova via her page on Facebook.

“As soon as my messages about Ukrainian prisoners and political prisoners held in the Russian Federation and temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk regions and Crimea appear on the information space, massive extraneous attacks are carried out on the official website of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, which make the normal functioning of the resource impossible, and sometimes – lead to its stop and loss of information”,- the message said.

Denisova appealed to the chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov with a request to start investigative actions and find the attackers who commit the corresponding offenses.
