The State Duma adopted in the first reading two bills introducing punishment and its toughening for trash streams

The State Duma adopted in the first reading bills proposing changes to the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code related to liability for trash streams. This was reported on the website of the lower house of parliament.

It is planned to add clause No. 12 to the article on abuse of freedom of speech (Article 13.15 of the Administrative Code), which prohibits the publication of photos and videos “depicting unlawful acts committed with cruelty and their consequences” , calls to commit these acts.” For violation, fines from 200 to 700 thousand rubles are provided.

The innovation will not apply to works of science, literature, art that have historical, artistic or cultural value, materials from registered media, as well as photos and videos that are intended for use for scientific or educational purposes established by federal standards.

In addition, the deputies proposed toughening penalties under certain articles of the Criminal Code if the crime was committed “with a public demonstration, including in the media or information and communication networks (including the Internet).” Similar wording will be included in Article 63 of the Criminal Code, which lists aggravating circumstances.

The changes may affect articles on murder (105 Criminal Code), intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm (111 Criminal Code), intentional infliction of moderate harm to health (112 Criminal Code), intentional infliction of minor bodily harm (115 Criminal Code), beatings (116 Criminal Code), torture ( 117 of the Criminal Code), threat of murder or infliction of grievous bodily harm (119 of the Criminal Code), kidnapping (126 of the Criminal Code), illegal imprisonment (127 of the Criminal Code) and the use of slave labor (127.2 of the Criminal Code).

Parliamentarians believe that fines and tougher penalties will help reduce the number of cases of bullying people on air for the sake of making money. “There are those who abuse children, animals, and even murders occur. This gives rise to cruelty in society, especially negatively affecting children and adolescents,” State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin commented on the bills.
