The Ministry of Justice has received input from various institutions and organizations on increasing the age of consent in Estonia from the current 14, to 16, as is the case in many European countries. Additionally, some organizations and interest groups also support a maximum age gap of three years, others call for five, while the Prosecutor s Office supports a 10-year age difference, between two partners.
The recommendations follow several high-profile sex abuse cases involving minors under the law (i.e. younger than 18) who are or were at the time of the offenses 14 or over, i.e. above the age of consent, as opposed to cases of outright pedophilia, in a legal sense.
The first-tier Tartu County Court has ruled that two convicted war criminals serving their sentence in Tartu prison will remain behind bars there. The pair, Dragomir Miloševič, 78, and Milan Martič, 66, have been serving out their sentences meted out by the UN s tribunal on the Former Yugoslavia.
Milan Martič was in 2007 sentenced to 35 years in prison for crimes against humanity by the UN s International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) .
Tartu County Court said: In assessing the severity of Milan Martič s crimes, it needs to be stated that they are so extremely serious that in order for an early release, risk of reoffending would need to be very low in his case. This is not the case at present.
Courts saw an increased workload in 2020, partly the result of the coronavirus pandemic, with civil matter hearings at a seven-year high, and cases resolved across all categories rising 7 percent on year.
