Kyiv court leaves Lavra vicar under 24-hour house arrest
On April 21, 2023, the Kyiv Court of Appeal rejected the motion of Metropolitan Pavel's defence team. The bishop will wear an electronic bracelet until May 30.
The Court of Appeal left the vicar of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Pavel of the UOC, under 24-hour house arrest.
The Metropolitan is required to wear an electronic bracelet until May 30.
The defence team pointed out the health problems of the bishop and also argued that he does not live in the house where he should stay according to the court's ruling.
They also noted that 24-hour house arrest is one of the most severe measures of restraint provided for in the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. However, the court did not satisfy their demands.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the vicar of Lavra appealed to the Ombudsman's Office because of violations of a number of his rights.
