The bill proposes to introduce into the criminal code the concept of “incitement” and “declination” to suicide.

Bringing to suicide of the author of the document refers to as “cruel treatment or systematic humiliation of human dignity of the victim”. The maximum punishment is eight years of imprisonment if the offence is committed against a minor, pregnant woman, group of individuals or through the Internet.

The encouragement of suicide, according to the bill, is exercised by “persuasion, proposals, bribery, fraud”. For this propose to punish by deprivation of liberty for a term up to six years. The list of potential targets – the same as in the case of incitement to suicide.
