At the session, a draft law aimed at ensuring the right of inmates to remote video meetings was considered.

The draft law has been developed to implement modern information and communication technologies, ensuring that prisoners do not become isolated from society and helping them reintegrate into society after serving their sentences.

The draft law introduces amendments and additions to the relevant articles of the Criminal-Executive Code. It proposes granting prisoners serving sentences in all correctional facilities under the Ministry of Internal Affairs the right to remote video meetings, allowing them to connect with their loved ones online. The frequency of these remote video meetings will be determined based on the regime of the sentence being served.

During the session, the draft law was adopted by deputies in the first reading.
