Russian lawmakers move forward with legislation making it illegal to recruit minors for unpermitted protests

Source: Russian State Duma

Lawmakers in Russia’s State Duma have passed the second reading of legislation that will make it illegal to involve minors in unpermitted public assemblies. First-time offenders convicted under this law will face between 20 and 100 hours of community service, fines as high as 50,000 rubles ($750), or up to 15 days in jail. Repeat offenders will face community service, fines as high as 300,000 rubles ($4,520), or up to 30 days in jail.

Over the past two years, Russian police have repeatedly detained large numbers of youths at unpermitted political demonstrations (mainly at protests organized and promoted by Alexey Navalny).
