The President of the Russian Federation has signed a package of anti-terrorism measures
Russian President Vladimir Putin put his signature on the so-called “Spring package”. Recall that this is a package of legislative changes that is declaratively defined as anti-terrorism. In the “package” of legislative changes, one of the authors of which is the deputy from the faction “United Russia” Irina Yarovaya, for the first time at the legislative level the concept of “international terrorism” is defined.
Criminal liability is introduced both for participation in international terrorist groups and for recruitment to terrorist cells.
The Spring Package provides criminal liability for individuals who have participated in the financing of terrorist groups. The greatest resonance was caused by that part of the legislative package, which implies the need for cellular operators and Internet providers to store information about calls and messages of their customers when communicating with each other. Cellular operators and Internet providers have announced a possible significant increase in tariffs for communication services.
TASS cites the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov:
Among the legislative measures is a ban on “missionary activity” (in other words, sect activity) aimed at popularizing suicide, destroying the family, and encroaching on the rights and freedoms of citizens. This kind of activity does not provide for imprisonment, and those who carry it out will face a fine of up to 1 million rubles. Foreign preachers from sects are awaiting expulsion from the Russian Federation with a ban on re-entry.
