Ukraine’s political party Ukrainian Union of Patriots - UKROP will appeal to the European Court for Human Rights (ECHR) in connection with the detention of its leader, Hennadiy Korban, according to Denys Borysenko, the party member, on Saturday, an UNIAN correspondent reported from a Kyiv briefing.

Borysenko said that the norms of the Ukrainian legislation had been violated when during Korban’s detention.
He said that the party has no confidence in the law enforcement agencies and the Ukrainian authorities.
"We will definitely appeal to all the European institutions, which will allow us defending the rights of Hennadiy Korban," said Borisenko.
