Russian Bill Criminalizing Insults to Religious Feeling Passes Second Reading in Parliament

Lenta.ru so reports. The bill would criminalize “actions in public, demonstrating clear disrespect to society and committed with the intent to insult the religious feelings of believers,” with the maximum punishment being one year in prison, or three years if the actions are committed in a place of worship. The final vote on the law is expected by the end of the week. Thanks to my father Vladimir Volokh for the pointer.
