Life for sabotage: Trans-Ukrainians in Russia will receive tougher punishment
The United Russia faction will submit to the State Duma of the Russian Federation a package of four bills related to ensuring state security. Deputy Vasily Peskarev told reporters about this on Thursday, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Recently, we have encountered cases of all kinds of acts of sabotage against critical infrastructure facilities. Citizens suffered. We believe that additional measures need to be taken to protect them.
I'm talking about responsibility for committing acts of sabotage. It is proposed to amend the criminal code to provide for separate criminal liability for facilitating sabotage activities.
We propose to make involvement, appeals, inducement, and financing of acts of sabotage criminally punishable. We also propose to punish for training in acts of sabotage and the creation of criminal communities with the purpose of committing them,” Piskarev said.
According to him, it is also necessary to amend the law on information, providing for the blocking of resources that instruct on the procedure for manufacturing explosive devices and weapons.
“We see that the media is promoting the commission of all kinds of sabotage crimes against our infrastructure and citizens. Resources such as “Doksa” and “Vesna” urge our citizens to take up arms and indicate methods for making explosives to blow up infrastructure. It is unacceptable. We see that individual cases occur, but we must answer for everything,” Piskarev said.
According to him, the bill provides for punishment for refusal to remove such materials as an administrative violation. And deputies propose to punish sabotage with life imprisonment.
“I am confident that our initiative will help fight all those who are trying to undermine the economic foundations, defense capability and security of our state in our country. Anyone who thinks of committing a crime, finances it, campaigns for it, will be arrested and severely punished. It’s no joke with us,” Piskarev summed up.
