| Russian MP proposes ‘delayed death penalty’ for convicted terrorists |
| 2017-06-10 |
| [RT] The head of the State Duma Committee for Security has proposed allowing Russian courts to sentence convicted turbans to death under condition that the execution of the sentence is delayed until the current moratorium on capital punishment is lifted. "We are moving towards humanization, but I would like our courts to use the term capital punishment in the sentences passed for especially grave crimes, with large numbers of victims killed by kabooms or terrorist attacks. The actual execution can be postponed to the moment when the general public starts to realize that this punitive measure must be applied," MP Vasily Piskaryov (United Russia) said in an interview with TASS. |
