Putin signed a decree pardoning 23 women

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree pardoning 23 women. This was announced on March 17 by the head of the Presidential Human Rights Council (HRC). Valery Fadeev.

"The President signed a decree pardoning 23 women. Those who have children, relatives participating in a special military operation, and so on have been pardoned," RIA Novosti quoted Fadeev as saying.

Fadeev learned about the pardon at a meeting of the HRC working group on education. He was given a note, which he later shared with reporters.

Last December, Putin, during the Russian Presidential Council on Human Rights, asked Eva Merkacheva, a member of the Human Rights Council, to send proposals for a "New Year's pardon." Merkacheva offered to pardon those who were convicted for the first time for minor and nonviolent crimes.
