Russia moves to sharply raise fines for political offences
Original: штраф
Russian authorities are preparing to increase administrative fines under politically framed articles of the administrative code, with penalties in some cases rising by up to fifty times. The proposal, reported by DW, would dramatically raise the cost of participation in unauthorised protests and other politically sensitive actions, and has drawn attention amid an ongoing tightening of rules on dissent.
Why now: A proposal to multiply political fines up to fiftyfold signals a significant escalation in penalties for dissent, prompting wide discussion.
