The law with a continuation

The new version of the FSB Law will be followed by amendments to the Criminal Code

The new version of the FSB Law will be followed by amendments to the Criminal Code. Legislators will have to determine what citizens will pay for ignoring the warning of special services. What other surprises Lubyanka prepares us - by no means a rhetorical question, experts of The New Times believe

The bill, launched into the Duma from the government, gives the FSB the opportunity to work with any objectionable contingent - from large media to small businessmen. Responsibility for disobedience to the oral requirements of the FSB officer is established - up to 15 days of arrest. In the first reading, the bill was adopted by the efforts of deputies from United Russia.

* * Only one deputy from the ruling party, Boris Reznik, abstained. The deputies will have time to make amendments in the second to the summer vacation, in which the State Duma will go on July 11, and if they are very tried, and in the third reading. However, this is only the top of the iceberg. In the bill that caused a violent discussion, the liability of individuals for ignoring written warnings from the Chekists has not yet been stipulated.

We warned you ...
“So it was in the Soviet Union, first an official warning, then criminal prosecution,” retired Major General Alexei Kondaurov. “The next step is to determine the measure of responsibility following the warning.” “The law has one paragraph that states that“ failure to comply with the requirements entails liability established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. ” This means that in a few months an amendment to the administrative or criminal code will be amended, where it will be said that he threatens a person if the warning is not fulfilled, ”confirms Kondaurov’s deputy communist, a member of the State Duma Security Committee Alexander Kulikov. - At the same time, all the conversations that the bill is just a means of prevention is crafty. These will be strict effects, which is unacceptable and very dangerous. We did not receive answers to our questions from the leadership of the FSB, although they told them: if this is a mistake, remove this paragraph. They don’t clean it - it means that it is necessary. ”

All conversations that the bill

Just a means of prevention - cunning.

These will be strict impact measures,

which is unacceptable and very dangerous

"

The prophylactic nature of the amendments in an interview was told by Kulikov’s colleague in the committee, the deputy of the unoross and former deputy prosecutor general Vladimir Kolesnikov: “The FSB has the task of preventing serious crimes, but there was no tool for its implementation until today. They asked us, and we agreed that such a tool was needed. The humanistic aspect is put at the forefront, ”the deputy said in one of the television broadcasts. - We do not want to plant people, it is better to warn, stop on time. There is information that the guy found out how to assemble explosives, and goes to the store. Here he is stopped and they say: "Do not buy, otherwise there will already be an attempt to commit a crime, which means detention, arrest, court and prison." Stop humane, warn! " The story of the former deputy prospector caused a smile even among TV presenters, not to mention the rest of the studio guests.

The New Times turned to the head of the State Duma Committee on Security Vladimir Vasiliev for clarification: what is still threatening citizens for ignoring Chekist warnings. But his press service said that the deputy "had not yet developed a position on this issue."

Without a chance to justify himself
A strong foundation for a new design is summarized by the old norm related to warnings as such: “Warnsions about the inadmissibility of any actions are carried out now, but only the prosecutor's office can do this,” said The New Times

The head of the Interregional Association of Human Rights Procedure Organizations "Agora" Pavel Chikov. - And there is a problem: they cannot be appealed in court. For appeal, in accordance with the Civil Procedure Code, it is required that human rights and freedoms are violated, and they are not violated in any way with a warning. Courts simply refuse to accept such complaints. ”

“The appeal in the court of warnings received from the state house is useless,” supports lawyer Dmitry Agranovsky. “A simple person without a lawyer cannot do it at all.”

If the bills - this and the future - will pass three readings unchanged and will be signed by Medvedev, the FSB will actually receive a serious repressive instrument: a person who received a warning will come to a simple choice - either to submit to the request of the Chekist or fall under a criminal article.

“Suppose the FSB received information that your publication is preparing material on corruption among the highest officials of the state,” says Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the National Anti -Corruption Committee. - They qualify the information as a discrediting representative of the authorities, that is, extremism, and endure a warning about the inadmissibility of publication. Another option: you can warn - you have a person prone to extremist activity. Does the "marches of disagreements" go? So, prone. Either solve the issue so that you do not go, or measures will be taken. ”

15 days for prevention
However, the 15 days already stipulated in the amendments for the amendments to the verbal request of the FSB officer will give the Chekists a wide range of opportunities for “tamping” objectionable. “A man comes to a rally against a corrupt mayor, people in civilian clothes come to him and offer to calm down,” says Kabanov. - Then they plant for 15 days in the kutuzka. In business - the same thing. Suppose a businessman works in the field of foreign economic activity and he needs to exhibit a tender. They say to him: you have people who can transmit intelligence data, and we have operational information that the state order information will go to the west. And here a warning is already being issued - either dismiss people, or do not participate in the tender. ”

“The human rights activist, the opposition will be caught by criticism of authorities, officials,” suggests Alexei Kondaurov. - Theoretical example: Nemtsov pronounces unpleasant words about Putin - “corruption power”, “corrupt regime”. The FSB will call him and say: where is the evidence that Putin created the regime? You get down again - you will receive an official warning. Such things can be invented by a million. Will cling to careless statements, steps, comments. To what today they are dragged to the court for an innocent refutation. All this will be developed in the process of applying these provisions in practice. ”

A person can be involved in everything

what will seem to be a knife a prerequisite

to violation

"

It will be even easier to deal with the "disagreement." “You can from all the people who have ever seen at protest events, demand: do not go to this rally, regardless of whether it is permitted or not,” lawyer Dmitry Agranovsky analyzes the mechanism of future repressions. - The addressees are likely to ignore this requirement, moreover, they should ignore it, because the freedom of assembly and rallies is enshrined in the constitution. After that, citizens can be safely formalized for 15 days for the fact that they did not obey the legal request of the Chekist. Just for the fact of appearing at such and such a place. Until now, participation in mass events did not require any permission. And now it will be possible to detain for the fact of the appearance - as in the film: "Obstly, listen, did nothing - just went in."

According to Agranovsky, similar measures easily apply not only to real, but also to network “disagreed”: “All more or less well-known bloggers are installed, they are assigned the relevant people. Bloggers can be sent the same requirements. To demand to stop any activity that does not suit the state, otherwise "you can violate the law." And for subsequent comments that can be regarded in this way, or simply for the Internet active person can be involved in everything that will seem to be a Chekist by a prerequisite for violation. ”

So, the logic of the new version of the FSB Law is built: for disobedience, an oral requirement follows administrative punishment, for non -compliance with a written submission - criminal. And how else? You were warned.
