New Legislation Takes Effect
A new law has come into force this Friday, intensifying penalties for those who assault police officers, prison guards, and firefighters. This legislation aims to enhance the protection of these vital professionals and ensure that offenders face stricter consequences for their actions.
Key Changes in the Law
- The maximum penalty for assaults that are classified as qualified attacks on physical integrity has been increased from four to five years in prison.
- The law also extends the exemption from court fees for teachers and doctors who are victims of aggression, recognizing the risks they face in their professions.
This move is seen as a necessary step to safeguard those who work on the front lines, providing essential services to the community. The government emphasizes the importance of ensuring that such professionals can perform their duties without fear of violence.
