Russia’s parliament has begun considering a bill that would give the state the power to seize the property of those convicted of defamation of the security forces.
“The State Duma has introduced amendments to the Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes on the confiscation of property for public calls for activities directed against the security of the state, for discrediting the army and a number of other articles,” a statement by the State Duma, the lower house of parliament, said on Monday.
