24-hour house arrest of a member of the Verkhovna Rada Mykola Tyshchenko was extended for another 2 months.

This was announced in the Prosecutor General's Office, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

"The Member of Parliament of Ukraine, who is suspected of illegally depriving a person of his liberty, has been given an extended preventive measure," the message reads.

Tyshchenko must be permanently under house arrest and must wear an electronic bracelet.

Such restrictions apply to him until November 16.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on June 20 in Dnipro, people in military uniform accompanying Mykola Tyshchenko attacked a former soldier of the Kraken unit, who was with a child. The actions of Tyshchenko and his bodyguards caused a sharp reaction from society. Head of the President's Office Andrii Yermak, commenting on the incident in Dnipro, called the behavior of Tyshchenko and his people "shameful". According to him, there is no justification for this act. Earlier, law enforcement agencies served Tyshchenko with the suspicion of kidnapping a war veteran. An electronic bracelet was put on Mykola Tyshchenko.
