    CHANGES TO CRIME CODE

    Lragir.am
    23 May 06

    On May 23 the National Assembly passed the bill introduced by the
    government of Armenia on first reading. If it is enacted, hard labor
    will be eliminated as a punishment. The minister of justice Davit
    Harutiunyan said this punishment is hardly ever administered and
    is formal.

    Besides, the government suggests defining crimes on their graveness,
    and adopting fine or social work as punishment for not only felonies or
    misdemeanors. If the sentence is two years of imprisonment, a convict
    may appeal for replacing his or her punishment with social work.
