American actor Steven Seagal, who received Russian citizenship a few years ago, developed his first law for Russians.  It will deal with environmental issues, the official representative of the party Elizaveta Kondakova told Open Media.

 In the drafted amendments, Sigal proposes to toughen the punishment for criminal offenses in the field of ecology.  The actor will present the initiative on May 29 at a meeting of the Chamber of Deputies of the "Fair Russia - For Truth" party.  Thus, he will call for the punishment of imprisonment and the deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions of citizens convicted of pollution of the atmosphere, water or the marine environment of moderate severity.

 According to the current legislation, sentences of up to two to five years are imposed in a colony only in case of serious harm: if the misconduct caused damage to health or death of a person, and also if it was committed on the territory of a nature reserve or wildlife sanctuary, in an environmental disaster or emergency zone.

 Segal considered such measures insufficiently effective.  The actor plans to discuss specific ways of punishing violators with fellow party members.  According to Kondakova, he does not intend to dwell on one initiative and is going to further develop the environmental direction.

 On the eve it was reported that Sigal wished to join the "Fair Russia" party.  Later, its chairman, Sergei Mironov, confirmed reports that the actor would become a party member.  The cell explained his admission to its ranks by the fact that he would be able to draw the attention of his fans to the activities of the association.
