Six draft amendments to the Penal Code were adopted in principle by the Parliament June 21. The changes seek to improve the legislation on terrorism, human trafficking, organized crime, computer crimes and the production and use of chemical and biological weapons. Probation is suggested as an alternative to a prison sentence under the proposal of the government. The bill contains formulations of terrorism-related crimes and the financing of terrorism. It provides a prison term of 3 to 15 years for the participation in, and establishment of a terrorist cell or for preparation of terrorist action. The bill envisages more severe punishment for raping minors and underage persons, and introduces new rules for punishing pornographic activity, bribery in the private sector and offers improvements in the old provisions on bribery and introduction of fine as a punishment. A bill on the decriminalisation of open homosexual acts, stirred up a highly emotional debate. The sponsors of the bill explained that they seek to eliminate discrimination against homosexuals. The changes treat on an equal footing sex crimes of heterosexual or homosexual nature.
