Defending their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of personal philosophy, religion and protection of personal data, citizens of Ukraine refuse to obtain a passport in the form of a plastic card. The citizens right violation guaranteed by Articles 32 and 35 of the Constitution of Ukraine is widespread and needs to be addressed immediately.
