On Friday, December 12, 2008, Russia’s upper house of parliament passed a law ending jury trials for citizens suspected of treason or terrorism. On the following Sunday, the country narrowly avoided anti-Kremlin rallies detaining 130 people from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Then that Wednesday, Prime Minister Putin announced a new bill expanding the definition of treason to include the damaging of Russia’s territorial integrity, constitutional order, or sovereignty.
Criminalizing Opposition
The broad language in the new bill could criminalize all opposition to Kremlin policies and potentially prevent Russian citizens from speaking to foreign journalists. Sunday’s rally, for example, could have fallen under the vague classification of “damage to constitutional order.”
