Mironov: "A Just Russia – For the Truth" insists on the introduction of the death penalty

This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by the leader of the party Sergei Mironov.

"We have a proposal that terrorists and their accomplices, and murderers of children, really need to be sentenced to capital punishment, to execution ... We insist on it, and we will insist," he said.

Mironov noted that, according to opinion polls, about 70% of Russians will support the return of the death penalty.

Earlier it was reported that the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Russia Valery Zorkin during a 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 in the Kremlin there are no discussions about the return of the death penalty.
