MOSCOW, March 17 Head of the State Duma Committee on Labour, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Yaroslav Nilov said RIA Novosti that when conducting an amnesty, one should not be limited only to economic articles. «I think that we should not limit ourselves exclusively to economic articles. You can look wider. For example, a small theft, subject to compensation for damage. And categories too — women with children, people with disabilities with related diseases «, — said Nilov. As the parliamentarian noted, it is important «to carefully look and determine the category that cannot do any harm.» «Not serious articles regarding certain social groups can also be taken into account and released. We have a bad demographic situation, there is a need for labor resources. We must give an opportunity,» the politician noted and added that the LDPR is convinced that the State Duma rarely uses «its right to release it.» Previously, a group of deputies of the State Dumas and a senator of the Federation Council submitted a draft resolution on amnesty for economic crimes of small and medium gravity for consideration by the lower house, the document is published in the Duma electronic database. >March 14, 16:08FTS explains how to declare foreign assets under amnesty
