The Russian prosecution service will implement the lifting of the moratorium on the death penalty if the State Duma passes legislation to this effect, First Deputy Prosecutor General Yuri Biryukov told the Duma
The Russian prosecution service will implement the lifting of the moratorium on the death penalty if the State Duma passes legislation to this effect, First Deputy Prosecutor General Yuri Biryukov told the Duma.
What prosecution service personnel think on this matter is of no consequence, he said.
Biryukov was responding to a question by Alexander Lotorev, a Russia's Regions Duma deputy, on the prosecution service's view on the possibility of lifting the moratorium. Society is increasingly inclined towards having capital punishment reinstated, Lotorev argued.
