Deputy Chairman of the Security Council and ex-President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev proposed to return the death penalty for criminals after the suspension of Russia’s membership in PACE.

About this he wrote on his page in “VKontakte”.

“Savage injustice. Although a good reason to slam the door and forget about these senseless almshouses forever, it is a good opportunity to restore a number of important institutions such as the death penalty for the most dangerous criminals”, - he said, commenting on yesterday’s decision of the Council of Europe.
