House Arrest Introduced

Russia’s State Duma adopted amendments to the criminal legislation introducing a new type of punishment: house arrest. A convict sentenced to house arrest will be allowed to leave home for work etc., but generally disallowed to travel, participate in mass actions, etc. The term may be up to four years.
