Reply

According to Article 30 of the 2015 Penal Code, as amended and supplemented in 2017:""Punishment is the most severe coercive measure of the State as stipulated in this Code, decided by the Court to be applied to individuals or commercial legal entities who commit crimes, with the aim of depriving or restricting the rights and interests of those individuals or commercial legal entities."

Criminal law prescribes many different penalties, depending on the perpetrator and the nature and severity of the crime. Specifically, Article 32 of the 2015 Criminal Code, amended in 2007, stipulates two types of penalties for offenders:

1. Main Punishment(as stipulated in Clause 1, Article 32) includes:

ButWarning

ButFine

ButNon-custodial rehabilitation

ButExpulsion

ButImprisonment for a fixed term

ButLife imprisonment

ButDeath penalty

2. Additional penalties (as stipulated in Clause 2, Article 32)including:

ButProhibited from holding certain positions, practicing certain professions, or performing certain jobs.

ButProhibited from residing

ButControl

ButDeprivation of certain civil rights

ButConfiscation of assets

ButFines, when not applied as the primary punishment.

ButDeportation, when not applied as the primary punishment.

Thus, the penalties for offenders include 7 principal penalties and 7 supplementary penalties. Each offender is subject to only one principal penalty and may be subject to one or more supplementary penalties.
