The vice-speaker of the State Duma Igor Lebedev (LDPR) is developing a bill to amend the limits of personal self-defense, the newspaper «Izvestiya» . In the near future, the document will be submitted to the State Duma.
After resonant sentences to those who defend themselves and their loved ones killed or injured attackers in Parliament returned to the question of extending the rights of Russian citizens on the use of weapons in when someone threatens their lives, especially in their own home, the newspaper notes.
«Recall a time when a girl in the subway, being protected from criminals, used weapons and received a term greater than the criminals. This is nonsense, “- said Lebedev.
According to him,” it would be wise to introduce to the Russian legislation the concept of “My home – my castle».
As stated by Lebedev, if a citizen protects your home, family, yourself, uses weapons against bandit zalezshego in his house, it should not be punished with the punishment.
At the moment, according to article 37 of the Penal Code, the infliction of harm to the attacker would not be considered a crime only if the life and health of the defender or other persons actually in danger. In this case, the court need to prove that the defender has harmed the attacker did not intentionally, but only “within the limits of self-defense».
«In practice, courts occasionally sentenced to actual prison terms of those who were forced to defend himself and clear criteria limits of self-defense does not exist “, – underline” Izvestia ».
