What else they want to ban in Russia after the terrorist attack

Flight bans to Egypt Russia introduced before officially acknowledging what happened to the A321 aircraft as a terrorist act. The period for which the ban was introduced is not exactly reported, but Aeroflot does not count on the resumption of air traffic until the end of March 2016.

Some deputies thought that it was necessary to cancel flights not only to Egypt, but also to other countries. So, the Communists proposed to ban flights to Turkey and Tunisia. The deputies note that terrorist acts took place in these countries, and the criminals attacked, including hotels with tourists.

Following the State Duma, Rosaviatsia was preoccupied with flight restriction: after a series of terrorist attacks in Paris, the ministry’s officials reported that are exploring the opportunity flight restrictions to France.

Finally, November 16 in the press appeared a quote from the deputy head of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Oleg Syromolotov that the agency was “working on the issue” of banning flights to Europe, but already after seven minutes this message was refuted.

Expansion of powers of security officials

A day after the Federal Security Service (FSB) recognizedthat the plane crashed because of the terrorist attack, Vladimir Putin created a new anti-terrorism body: an interdepartmental commission that will deal with the financing of the terrorist attacks.

The process of expanding the powers of the security forces did not end there; however, it is not yet clear what new rights the police and the FSB will have. State Duma Security Committee member Nikolai Kovalev, for example, считаетthat it is necessary to adopt as soon as possible a bill allowing police to shoot at women without obvious signs of pregnancy (it was earlier criticized by human rights activists).

In the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security surethat regional prosecutors should have the right to suspend extremist websites in the pretrial order (now the prosecutor general and his deputy now have that right).

And, of course, the parliament believes that the security forces should receive additional funding. Apparently, the relevant amendments will be taken into account in the budget for 2016 year.

Lifting the death penalty moratorium

The death penalty in Russia is not allowed and is not prohibited. On the one hand, it does not apply, on the other - Russia has not yet ratified the relevant protocol of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights, although it promised to do so in 1999 year. Many deputies have repeatedly proposed reintroducing the death penalty - for this, for example, both the Liberal Democrats and the Communists insist. After the terrorist attack in the plane А321 to them joined United Russia deputy Stanislav Govorukhin.

In addition, the idea supported the and in the Federation Council: First Deputy Chairman of the Defense and Security Committee of the Upper Chamber of the Parliament for Defense and Security, Franz Klintsevich stated that the issue of imposing the death penalty for terrorists should be reconsidered.

Ban on messengers

Terrorists actively use messengers and for propaganda, and to coordinate their actions. Among the militants of the "Islamic state" is particularly popular Telegram. Referring to these data, the deputies began to seek a ban on the messenger in Russia: the first deputy head of the constitutional committee of the State Duma, Alexander Ageev, appealed to the FSB about this. The founder of the service, Pavel Durov, proposed to ban words in response. Even the Ministry of Communications got on his side in this matter - Minister Nikolai Nikiforov equated the Telegram ban with the Toyota driving ban, since these cars are also used by terrorists. November 19 Telegram voluntarily blocked 78 open channels associated with the "Islamic State".

On appeal to the FSB, members of parliament did not calm down. Communist deputy Vadim Solovyov still urged to ban the use of some messengers, search engines and telephones - though not to all citizens, but only to officials. His idea is only indirectly related to the fight against terrorism: mostly Solovyov fears that foreign intelligence will receive access to confidential information.

Ban on human treatment of terrorists

Ideas of varying degrees of rigidity in this direction were suggested by the heads of those regions where terrorist attacks occur relatively often. Thus, the head of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Yevkurov in his instagram proposed to extend to the terrorists the rule "not to take prisoners": he is sure that the criminals must be killed (according to Yevkurov, "eliminated") on the spot. The head of Ingushetia added that if such a rule is introduced, the death penalty will not have to be introduced.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, in turn, came up with a sophisticated way of killing terrorists. By his words, criminals should be tied to the drones (it is not clear, dead or alive), and then dumped on the territory of the "Islamic State".

Earlier, Forum reported that the Russian airliner Airbus A321 crashed in Egypt 31 October 2015 of the year. The plane flew from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg. Almost all of the 224 dead passengers and crew members were Russians.

Originally Russia did not consider version of the attack as the main one.

6 November 2015 of the year, a week after the plane crash, the Russian authorities banned flights to Egypt for security reasons.
