Based on the results of the public discussion on the Day of the Ukrainian Political Prisoner, the speakers of the event prepared recommendations for state authorities to take urgent actions to protect the rights of citizens deprived of their liberty as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine, as well as their family members.

On January 12, 2023, on the occasion of the Political Prisoner's Day, Ukrinform IA held a public discussion on social and legal support for hostages, prisoners, political prisoners and their families. At the event, human rights defenders and relatives of detainees discussed the state's implementation of the law "On social and legal protection of persons who have been deprived of their personal liberty as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine, and members of their families", which entered into force on November 19, 2022.

The law provides for regular financial assistance, legal protection, medical and rehabilitation measures, job security, free education, housing and a number of state services for these categories of citizens.

However, at the executive level, the procedures and mechanisms that enable people to exercise their rights under this law have not been fully implemented.
