MOSCOW, May 24 (RAPSI) – The Federation Council has approved a bill envisaging post-prison supervision over criminals, who had served terms for serious crimes including terrorism and extremism, the statement of Russia’s upper house of parliament reads on Wednesday.

The State Duma passed the draft law on May 17.

According to the legislative initiative, compulsory administrative supervision would apply to individuals of majority age convicted of committing serious and particularly serious crimes of a terrorist and extremist nature, connected to infringement on life of law enforcement officers, public officials and persons executing justice or investigation, after their release.

Such measure would also touch people sentenced to imprisonment for murder, tortures, involvement of children in a criminal gang or committing serious and particularly serious crimes as well as causing grievous bodily harm if the crime had been committed on grounds of political, ideological, racial, national and religious hatred and enmity or animosity against any social group.

Police officers would be authorized to make a search for people, who failed to arrive at the place of administrative supervision or left it without permission.

Amendments are proposed to the Penal Code, federal laws “On Police”, “On Administrative Supervision over Persons Released from Places of Confinement” and the Administrative Court Procedure Code.
