Russia parliament votes 380-3 to decriminalize domestic violence

'Russia's parliament voted 380-3 on Friday to decriminalize domestic violence in cases where it does not cause "substantial bodily harm" and does not occur more than once a year. '

'Russia is one of three countries in Europe and Central Asia that do not have laws specifically targeting domestic violence, according to The Economist. '

'Even Russian police are often reluctant to get involved in domestic violence cases, which many regard as meddling in family affairs. '

'Critics of the new measure warned it would encourage domestic violence and fuel crime.“This bill would establish violence as a norm of conduct,” Communist lawmaker Yuri Sinelshchikov said during the debate. '

'Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists that family conflicts do "not necessarily constitute domestic violence."'
