Bastrykin proposes to return the death penalty to Russia/RosSMI

Head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin proposed considering the possibility of lifting the moratorium on the death penalty.

Bastrykin proposed putting forward his idea at the International Youth Legal Forum. Russian media report this.

How Bastrykin justifies the desire to return the death penalty

As justification for lifting the moratorium, Bastrykin cited the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall, the defendants of which, according to him, will receive “a maximum of life imprisonment.” In his imagination, life imprisonment is something like a sanatorium.

“Three meals a day, two-hour walks. I can’t afford to walk for two hours, I don’t have time for that. &amp ;lt;…> Do you know how much it costs to maintain one prisoner?,” he said.

However, it is worth noting that the return of the death penalty to Not everyone supports Russia. In particular, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the aggressor country, Valery Zorkin, called the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty unacceptable under the current Constitution.
