The Sverdlovsk ombudsman did not rule out amnesty for minors after the completion of the special military operation.
After the completion of the special military operation, a number of categories of convicted Russians may be amnestied; human rights defenders have already chosen a person from their ranks who will be tasked with justifying this to the head of state.
Under President Vladimir Putin, Russians will see "several amnesties, not just one" after the completion of the special military operation, said Tatiana Merzlyakova, the ombudsman for human rights in the Sverdlovsk region, in an interview with "Kommersant-Ural."
Categories of citizens that the head of state particularly values may be released from punishment—participants in the special operation, mothers with children, and minors, the ombudsman believes.
The amnesty should not affect murderers and those convicted of other violent crimes, but should primarily concern those who acted without thinking, in particular, minors "who read something on social media, started corresponding with someone, and said something without thinking," noted Merzlyakova.
Members of the Human Rights Council have already decided to assign their colleague Eva Merkacheva to convey such a call to the president. "She is always ready. But we must first win," emphasized the Sverdlovsk ombudsman.
