According to him, a decree from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is enough for her return to the Russian Federation. Bastrykin stated this today, June 28, at a plenary session of the International St. Petersburg Legal Forum, the Interfax agency reports.
The possibility of lifting the moratorium on executions should be considered. In some cases it should be used, and in those cases I am a supporter of the death penalty, he said.
Bastrykin suggested that the moratorium could be lifted by decree of the Russian President without changing the country’s Constitution.
Some competent, qualified lawyers told me that the Constitution needs to be changed, that a referendum needs to be held, but I believe that the moratorium on the death penalty needs to be lifted by presidential decree,” he emphasized.
