Following the recent terror attack at a concert hall in the Russian capital Moscow, Russian lawmakers are considering lifting the country’s ban on the death penalty. People believe that this incident has increased social anxiety towards anti-terrorism and anti-terrorism policies. Many have expressed concern over the law lifting the moratorium on the death penalty. He believes that if this happens, it will be misused by the government. The law is being introduced to target supporters of Ukraine and opponents of the Kremlin.
In a plenary session of the State Duma or the lower house of parliament, Leonid Slutsky, head of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, referring to the suspects of the terrorist attack, said that if any punishment can be given to these criminals, it is the death penalty. Apart from this there is no other punishment for these terrorists.
Parliament Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin proposed creating an inter-factional working group to analyze laws related to the use of the death penalty and migration policy, Xinhua news agency reported.
In this regard, Chairman of the State Duma Committee, Pavel Krashennikov, said that the committee is ready to discuss various proposals and bills, which are related to the ban on the death penalty. But such decisions have to be taken with patience.
Current Russian law legalizes the death penalty (death penalty). In 1996, Russia joined the Council of Europe and since then the death penalty has been banned in the country. The Russian Constitutional Court banned the death penalty in 1999.
Let us know that last Friday, terrorists opened fire in a concert hall in Moscow. In which more than 130 people died. The Russian parliament and authorities have seriously considered the security issue after this terrorist attack.
