  This is what the ukrainian embassy in slovakia claimed. I guess official ukrainian sources have been incredibly unreliable but I haven't seen any fact check on their claims >Czech law enforcement warns that public approval of Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be classified as a "crime of denial, questioning, approval and justification of GENOCIDE." There are already the first two cases of detainees incriminated in this paragraph of the Criminal Code. https://twitter.com/UKRinCZE/status/1497829641171525634 https://twitter.com/UKRinCZE/status/1497829641171525634

    Shouldn't it be the embassy in the Czech Republic or is it really the Ukraine embassy in Slovakia commenting on Czech law? Not trying to be difficult just generally wondering. Tried looking at the link but twitter wants me to sign up to view it.

      Sorry, my mistake! I think it's in the Czech Republic (though I think slovakia did something similar too), I'm only relying on Google translate so I might be very wrong

If supporting means driving a tank in Berlin and bombing an hospital, yes, most probably you will go to jail. For a long, long, time. If it means saying that Russia is right, definitely not.

  Not really, it really is just supporting russia even without any violence. For example in lithuania: >The decision bans to organize or gather at assemblies “aimed at supporting, in any form or scope, the actions of the Russian Federation and/or the Republic of Belarus, which caused the introduction of the state of emergency” while this state of emergency remains in place. https://www.baltictimes.com/lithuania_extends_state_of_emergency_until_april_21/ https://www.baltictimes.com/lithuania_extends_state_of_emerg... >The new legislation, which passed parliament with 71 votes in favour out of 117 cast, banned public events in support of "Russia or Belarus actions which led to this state of emergency". https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/lithuania-tightens-state-emergency-limits-free-speech-2022-03-10/ https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/lithuania-tightens-stat...

    Well, for Lithuania is personal. I can't blame them for not wanting to support their own destruction falling in a 'Donbas trap'

      No disagreement, war is war and they are in a vulnerable position
