A new bill is proposed by a group of senators headed by the chairman of the liberal platform of the EP Andrei Klishas. The document requires changes to the Code of Criminal Procedure. It is a ban on the use of "cells and glass cabins" in courtrooms. This initiative will help avoid the humiliation of the human dignity of the suspects and the accused, believes the Deputy Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, State Duma deputy Yevgeny Revenko. "The document is aimed primarily at the humanization of legal proceedings and will allow to exclude public shameful and humiliating scenes for people sitting behind bars, but not yet convicted," the party member said, noting that quite safe people are often on the dock. And the grids only annoy and once again loosen the mind of the suspects. "All this caused fair criticism from human rights defenders and just observers. Including on my initiative, the theme of the cells was considered at one of the meetings of the Liberal Platform of United Russia, Revenko reported. The new draft law proposes to supplement article 9 of the Code of Criminal Procedure with the third part.

It will be a ban on the placement of defendants in protective cabins and other isolated structures that prevent communication with defense counsel.. The author of the initiative is confident that it contributes to increasing the level of guarantee of rights.. "Human dignity is a constitutional value to be protected by the state. The use of metal cells limits the defendant’s effective participation in the trial, "Klishas said. We started talking about this bill last year.. In August 2017, he was discussed at a joint meeting of the liberal and entrepreneurial platform of United Russia..
