The Constitutional Court’s ruling in the Lebedev case: according to the law, you don’t need to repent in order to get parole, but you better repent, otherwise they won’t give you parole
On March 2, the Constitutional Court of Russia ruled on another complaint, which, along with others, comes to it regularly from different parts of the country, namely, on the issue of recognizing the unconstitutional norm of the penal code (part 1 of article 175 of the PEC) *, which actually obliges prisoners " repent" and "admit their guilt" if they want to get out on parole. This time, the Constitutional Court considered such a complaint from Platon Lebedev, a prisoner in IK-14.
