Past week President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev conducted a
meeting for discussion of the draft federal law “On Police”.
At the meeting the President also spoke on two amendments
proposed by the YABLOKO party.
A special web-site created for public discussion of the draft
law on police demonstrated that eight out of ten amendments
proposed by YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin to the new law
were in the top of the public voting rating.
President Medvedev noted hat the article granting the police
a right of unsanctioned access to any premises requires “serious
attention”. He said that the order of police access to living
premises needs “detailed regulation”. YABLOKO is of the same
opinion. According to the present variant of the draft law
proposed by its developers the police enjoys access to any
living premises without any prior court’s decision even if
it chases a witness.
President also supported YABLOKO’s proposal that a policeman
should wear a badge with his/her name and an indication to
which department he/she belongs to.
“At present it is yet unclear whether other our amendments
- both those voted for at the web-site and those contained
in YABLOKO’s alternative draft law - are supported. We shall
continue campaigning for shaping the draft law into a good
law,” YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin said.
YABLOKO continues its work over development of an alternative
draft law.
