Deputies proposed to toughen the punishment for malicious drug addicts in the Orel region
The Orel Regional Council of People’s Deputies discussed amendments that will complicate the responsibility for malicious evasion of forced drug treatment
The Oryol Regional Council of People’s Deputies discussed amendments that will complicate the responsibility for malicious evasion of compulsory drug treatment. Currently, a fine of up to 5,000 rubles is given for such a violation, but this, according to parliamentarians, is not enough.
The Committee on legislation of the regional Council supported the appeal to the State Duma of Russia with a proposal to introduce mandatory work up to 200 hours, correctional work up to six months or restriction of freedom up to a year for those who evaded treatment three times.
The final decision on the appeal will be taken at the next session of the regional council.
