(translation by M.L.) Tuleyev proposes to execute terrorists in public The governor of Kemerovo province [oblast] Aman Tuleyev proposes to introduce in Russia the capital punishment for terrorists and drug traffickers. According to him, only the highest measure of punishment can make an effective fight with this evil. Moreover executions must be carried out in public: "To make it visual, let's bring them on a square and shoot them from a machine gun" - stated Tuleyev in his interview to Interfax". The governor is convinced that the majority of Russians will support such stricts measure. Also earlier for the restoration of capital punishment for criminals, convicted on charges of terrorism, expressed himself the speaker of the State Duma - Gennady Seleznev. On the 7th of July he stated to the RIAN agency that "to similar people it is compulsorily and necessary to apply the capital punishment, but, naturally, based on a court decision". Let us recall, in accordance with the sixth protocol of the convention on protection of human rights and basic freedoms, ratified by Moscow, in Russia, the moratorium to capital punishment has been introduced. |
