Review of the Lustration Law (cleansing of power) has been suspended in Ukraine.
Ukraine Constitutional Court has postponed the review of the Law on Lustration.
The statement was made on Friday, October 23 by the Chairman of the Constitutional Court, Yuri Baulin.
The decision was made after a petition demanding the dismissal of 7 Judges was submitted by Yegor Sobolev, a MP from Samopomich (Self-Help) party.
Mr. Baulin said that the public will be informed when the court will resume the review of the law.
On the same day, Yegor Sobolev declared that 7 judges of the Constitutional Court had no right to review the Law On Lustration (“Cleansing of power") since they themselves gave the deposed president Yanukovich the dictatorial powers and contributed to his usurpation of power.
Earlier Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, stated that all the judges that fall under the "Law of Lustration" should be dismissed.
Anti-corruption draft law "On the cleansing power" was approved by Parliament in September 2014. After that, the Supreme Court of Ukraine and a group of deputies of the "Opposition Block " appealed to the Constitutional Court for review of the authority of norms of a the document .
The Opposition Block consists mostly of the MPs previously belonging to the Party of Regions of the deposed President, Yanukovych.
