MOSCOW. July 22 (Interfax-AVN) - State Duma Speaker Gennady Seleznyov said he believes the death penalty should be introduced for terrorists.
"For some reason, we have gotten it into our heads that if we are not using the death penalty, we have created a humane society," the speaker told a news conference at Interfax on Tuesday.
"People who have already decided that a person will die and those who train suicide bombers in their camps are criminals," Seleznyov said.
Seleznyov said he doubts the use of the death penalty for terrorists would change relations between Russia and Europe. He also said that death sentences should be brought by a jury.
