“A fair decision on each specific case will be made in the legal field.
Among those who are in custody, there are those who will be awarded capital punishment.
According to the Criminal Code of the DPR, this is the death penalty,” the ministry said.
As noted in the ministry, in accordance with the criminal code of the DPR, the death penalty as an exceptional measure of punishment can be established only for especially grave crimes that encroach on human life.
“As far as we know, on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic, including in the recently liberated territories, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of killing civilians with particular cruelty.
All those responsible for this will be identified, and they will be given capital punishment in court, ”the press service explained.
As RT wrote earlier, the DPR General Prosecutor's Office completed an investigation into a group of mercenaries from Britain and Morocco.
Defendants may also be subject to capital punishment in the republic, that is, the death penalty.
