The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) recommended the suspension of Ukraine from the organization.A PACE envoy, Hanne Severinsen, said PACE's monitoring committee adopted a resolution to recommend the Council of Ministers on the suspension of Ukraine's membership in the Council of Europe for the Ukrainian leadership's power abuse and the stifling of the opposition.Welcoming the approval of a new criminal code abolishing the death penalty by Ukraine's parliament, Severinsen noted that legislation is not the only thing that worried the Council of Europe. "There are many concerns," she said.
