Head of the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) Alexander Bastrykin in an interview “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” praised the bill on life imprisonment for pedophiles.
The chairman of the department supported the document. In his opinion, its adoption “will contribute to the prevention of the facts of sexual violence against children.” Bastrykin recalled that the UK had repeatedly raised this issue in connection with the increasing incidence of such incidents.
Earlier, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, Irina Volynets, suggested that pedophiles be imprisoned for life, even if such a crime was committed for the first time, and also if the victim was one child, and not just two or more.
On December 21, the State Duma approved in the first reading a bill on life imprisonment for pedophiles. The document also proposes to establish a maximum penalty for rape and sexual assault. On January 13, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin spoke in favor of considering the bill on pedophiles in parliament before February 1.
