Ukrainian MPs Reject Bill to Maintain Privacy of Confession
01-07-2009
KYIV-On 25 June, 2009, at its plenary session the Ukrainian Supreme Council rejected a bill that would maintain the privacy of confession. The bill would have prohibited priests from being questioned about information they heard during confession. The Ukrainian edition of the Kommersant newspaper reported this story on 26 June.
This bill would have also allowed advocates, notaries, doctors, and psychologists to be questioned about information they learned while performing their professional duties only if the person who gave the information granted written permission.
Only 187 MPs voted for the bill, while at least 226 votes were necessary.
