Klishas said martial law is not grounds for the death penalty

“Martial law in the region cannot be the basis for the abolition of the moratorium on the death penalty in its territory.

The Constitution and decisions of the Constitutional Court do not know such exceptions.

The Constitution of Russia must be observed by everyone, including the new subjects of the Russian Federation,” he wrote on Telegram.

Earlier it was reported that the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Russia Valery Zorkin, during his speech at the X All-Russian Congress of Judges, opposed the return of the death penalty.

In early November, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that there were no discussions in the Kremlin about the return of the death penalty.
