The Supreme court is thinking about to mitigate the punishment for a repost of prohibited materials

Russia’s Supreme court is considering the question of mitigation of punishment for the repost.

Answering a question of journalists, whether it is planned humanization of articles of the criminal code, providing punishment for the distribution, including a repost of extremist and prohibited materials, the head of the Supreme court Vyacheslav Lebedev said: “the Board (of the Supreme court) discusses this issue.”

Under the humanization of an article of the criminal code refers to the mitigation of punishment, including the transfer of a criminal offense within the category of the criminal act that does not include imprisonment, and may be punished by a fine or compulsory works.
