Mandatory work for those who have committed an administrative offense consists in performing free socially useful work in their free time from their main official duties, service or study, Vladimir Gruzdev, Chairman of the Board of the Russian Bar Association, reminded Izvestia.

The amendments, according to Gruzdev, impose restrictions on the use of compulsory labor for women with disabled children, as well as for men who are single parents and have children under the age of three or children with disabilities.
