The People's Deputy Group in the State Duma reiterated its call for the reinstatement of capital punishment.
The moratorium on executions should be lifted as soon as possible, the group said in a statement issued. "Some may accuse us of cruelty. We resolutely deny this charge," the statement says.
All polls show that society wants the moratorium lifted, it says.
