Putin signed a law suspending the ban on the activities of a terrorist organization

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law on the possibility of introducing a temporary suspension of the ban on the activities of a terrorist organization. The corresponding document was posted on December 28 on the official portal of legal information.

It is about amendments to the federal law "On Countering Terrorism," adopted in 2006.

According to the law, the ban can be suspended by a court decision on the basis of an application of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation or his deputy.

It is also possible if the organization has stopped activities "aimed at propaganda, justification and support of terrorism" or committing relevant crimes.
