Parliament gave a first reading to a bill providing that the domestic aggressors will be monitored electronically by using a hand or ankle bracelet that will be fitted immediately after the judge issues the protective order, IPN reports.
It is proposed obliging the aggressor to temporarily leave the common home or to stay far from the victim’s home, regardless of the ownership right over the dwelling. The aggressor will have to stay far from the whereabouts of the victim, at a distance that is safe for the victim, excluding any contact, including telephonic one, by correspondence or another method.
Also, the aggressor will be banned from approaching the victim’s workplace, the place of study of children or other places that are attended by the protected person.
The victim or members of the victim’s family can also wear an electronic supervision device like a small GSM phone that will enable to see if the aggressors fulfill their obligations, based on written consent.
The bill is to be given a final reading. The new regulations will take effect six months after their publication in the Official Gazette.
