Amnestative attractiveness

The Human Rights Council formulated proposals for the wide amnesty, which were represented by President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.

"Under the current conditions, the announcement of an amnesty seems to be a socially sound action taking into account the processes and difficulties of the past twenty -year period of transformation and the needs of the further development of society. It can draw a line under the past social and political confrontations, help to achieve the legal world, relieve stress in society, generated by distrust of law enforcement and judicial authorities," the one In the document.

The HRC offers to release all brought to justice for non -violent crimes, for the first time convicted, if he was sentenced to send the sentence for no more than three years, convicted of careless crimes for a period of up to five years in prison, as well as a certain period of punishment, citizens. In proportion to the assigned and serviced punishment, the deadlines for those who are not subject to release should be reduced. The HRC also speaks of the need to free minors, women, pensioners, disabled people, participants in hostilities, incurably sick as well as those who, at the time of publication of the act of amnesty, will sit down for the last year.

The text of the sentences emphasizes that amnesty should not be applied to those categories of citizens whose public danger does not allow mitigation of responsibility. Members of the Council of those who have rape, murder, intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm, torture, abduction of a person, illegal imprisonment, human trafficking, the use of slavish labor, the use of slavish labor in a psychiatric hospital, robbery, and robbery, and others are not subject to release.
