Some of the participants in the volunteer formations taking part in the special operation had previously served sentences in places of deprivation of liberty. The State Duma proposed to ban references in the media about the presence of a criminal record among the volunteers of the SVO.
Vasily Piskarev, head of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, announced this on his Telegram channel.
The Committee has prepared amendments that introduce additional grounds for establishing liability for discrediting participants in hostilities, including volunteer organizations, as well as for publicly disseminating knowingly false information about them.
- writes the deputy.
Now the document has been sent for consideration to the Duma Committee on State Building and Legislation.
Actually, the presence of this initiative does not yet mean that it will definitely receive legal formalization, since it is not known for sure whether the majority of deputies will support it. The proposed amendments are currently under discussion.
Shortly before this, the owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, approached Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin with a proposal to legally enshrine in the legislation the mention of facts about serving a criminal sentence in places of deprivation of liberty in the past by volunteers participating in the SVO. The businessman noted that most of the former convicts participating in the special operation are now honestly fulfilling their military duty to the Motherland.
