It's important for us to prevent spread of information rehabilitating terrorism - Lenchevskaya on reasons for amending Criminal Code

Deputies of the House of Representatives in the first reading adopted amendments to the Criminal Code, which provide a number of significant changes. And, as the developers themselves say, they are aimed at protecting the interests of the state and society.

It is obvious that in our difficult times the most serious crimes are planned and punished in the most serious way. The innovations will touch upon the civil servants and military servants, but are aimed, first of all, to prevent the manifestations of extremism and terrorism.

"You see how heated the military and political situation is. Destructive forces leave no wish to destabilize all spheres of life. First of all it threatens our national security, our state and our citizens," asserts Marina Lenchevskaya. We have done a lot of work. Some articles were added to the Criminal Code, such as "Propaganda of terrorism" or "Violation of requirements for the protection of state secrets."

"We are a multinational and multi-confessional country. And today, destructive forces can use this to the detriment of national security. Therefore, we must build clear barriers, draw specific red lines," Marina Lenchevskaya added.
