Convicts are given the right to a video meeting, APA reports. This was reflected in the amendment proposed by Milli Majlis deputy Nizami Safarov to the Code of Execution of Punishments, which was discussed at today’s meeting of the Milli Majlis Committee on Legal Policy and State Building and was recommended to the plenary session of the Parliament.
