The State Duma will consider a draft law that proposes a fine of 2 thousand rubles for stalking.
This action, committed using information and telecommunications networks, will be punishable by a fine of 3 thousand rubles.
In the event of repeated prosecution, administrative arrest for 15 days may follow, RIA Novosti writes, citing the bill.
The document introduces an addition to the Code of Administrative Offences, Article 5.612, on persecution.
The State Duma believes that a timely response to a signal from citizens about persecution, as well as warning and responsibility will help avoid consequences.
The amendments proposed by the deputies serve as an additional tool for citizens and law enforcement officers.
