Russia extends moratorium on death penalty
Russia’s constitutional court ruled that the current moratorium on death penalty will remain when the current legal suspension expires on 1st January.
The court said that the use of the death penalty was now impossible because Russia had signed international deals banning it.
Russia announced the moratorium in 1996 when it joined the Council of Europe, although it retains capital punishment in the criminal code.
Opinion polls suggest that a majority of Russians back the death penalty.
Well, of course – Russia doesn’t need death penalty, as Kremlin have the unwanted people murdered anyway.
