  • Vladimir Putin has signed a law increasing penalties for organising and participating in an armed uprising. The new regulations stipulate that the minimum penalty for such actions now ranges from 15 to 20 years' imprisonment,

The article from MSN discusses how Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new law that imposes life imprisonment for those convicted of organizing an armed uprising. This legislative change comes in the wake of the Wagner Group's mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin in June, which was the most significant challenge to Putin's authority in his over two decades in power. The law aims to strengthen the penalties for actions that threaten the stability of the state, reflecting Putin's ongoing efforts to consolidate power and suppress dissent. Additionally, the law also increases penalties for acts like sabotage, terrorism, and the rehabilitation of Nazism, signaling a broader clampdown on activities deemed detrimental to national security. This move is part of a series of legislative actions taken by Putin to fortify his regime against internal threats.
