On February 25, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe decided to suspend the right of the Russian Federation to be represented in two bodies of the Council of Europe - in the Committee of Ministers itself and in PACE.

The Russian authorities reacted negatively to this, and threaten to restore the death penalty in the country.

“A good opportunity, after the suspension of the Russian Federation’s membership in the Council of Europe, to restore a number of important institutions to prevent particularly serious crimes in the country - such as the death penalty,” Medvedev said.
