Ukraine is being pushed into an investigation into the sale of SN (by the families of the deceased and individual UK police units)

"Canadian and British families are pushing the Ukrainian government to protect vulnerable young people worldwide by cracking down on the sale of a deadly chemical from that country, just as Ontario authorities prosecuted Kenneth Law for selling the same substance.

But while a police force in the U.K. says it's liaising with authorities in war-torn Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine tells CTV News it's not ready to investigate, saying the chemical can be sold legally as a food preservative.


Ukraine police say substance not illegal

CTV News asked the National Police of Ukraine what they planned to do about the case. In a response, they noted that the chemical is not illegal.

"Under current Ukrainian legislation, [the chemical] is not classified as a narcotic drug, psychotropic substance, or precursor subject to controlled circulation..." a spokesperson for the agency wrote.

But the agency left the door open to the prosecution of a specific crime, adding, "At the same time, should specific information be received or discovered indicating the commission of a criminal offense, such information will be subject to legal assessment."


U.K. police want to work with Ukraine

In the U.K., Northumbria police confirmed to CTV News that they are investigating a death, and hoping to work with Ukraine.

"We do have an investigation here at Northumbria Police and we are liaising with Ukrainian authorities as our enquiries continue," said spokesperson Catriona Bathan.

The Pritchards [parents of a person who committed suicide] have also written to Ukrainian president Volodomyr Zelenskyy, whose office wrote back to say it would forward their concerns to Ukraine's national police."

Thanks for sharing this. I think Ukraine has other huge problems to resolve right now...

 

[meowpuppy]

i don't think this will be a major issue now, hopefully, since we have MIC

Fucking knew it...
Stay careful people...you never know who/what's going to be in their line of sight next

Thanks for the heads-up. The UA legislators are working in a mad printer mode - something you can buy legally today might be banned by tomorrow...

Well, perhaps it's hard to understand the way family members think in such situations.

But anyone who wishes to die is surely relieved to finally find someone who can provide the very thing they've been seeking for so long.

Family members don't stop for a second to consider that they, too, might one day find themselves in the same situation—facing reasons why they might no longer want to live. And then they'd be sitting in the same boat, searching desperately because there are so few options available.

They really ought to just accept that their loved one had a desire to die. The method doesn't matter.

We all understand the pain and sadness for these family members, but they should not take our choices away from our own body.

I hope they can look at it and say, my son/daughter didn't want to be in this life, we respect that. Although it hurts like hell loosing someone close.

They should advocate for more painless and less horrifying ways for 'us' SS Members so we don't need to suffer in our last moments.

Let us die with dignity and grace

Love that the UK government is making suicide of their citizens other countries' problem instead of changing things so that their citizens do not want to kill themselves.
