Russian Death Penalty Proposal Sparks International Debate
Lithuania Resident Reacts to Russia's Death Penalty Proposal A proposal by a Russian State Duma member to lift the moratorium on the death penalty has sparked debate, including in neighboring Lithuania. Sergey Mironov, chairman of the "A Just Russia" party, argues that the measure is necessary due to threats to national security. However, this proposal has been met with criticism, even outside of Russia. One Lithuanian citizen, featured in a recent TikTok video, voiced his concern over the prioritization of executing ordinary Russians instead of addressing the root causes of the security threats. "They are proposing to execute ordinary Russians instead of focusing on the actual security issues," he stated in the video. The video highlights the differing perspectives on this controversial proposal and its potential implications.
