[02] Justice Minister on provisions against bullyingANA/MPA---Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos, on Wednesday in statements to MEGA TV, made clarifications on the new provisions against bullying that will be included in the bill for the abolition of the maximum-security prisons, saying that the existing Criminal Code could not provide for cases where the victim was an adult.The current legislation concerned cases of victims under the age of 17 who have suffered injuries after continuous strident behaviour, Paraskevopoulos said adding that it could not provide for adults, even elderly people who are victims of bad behaviour. He also underlined that current legislation did not refer to tough behaviour that caused psychological problems and affected health in general. Referring to bullying at schools, he said that "possibly more provisions may be needed, this is a specific weakness of the regulation in the Criminal Code." Regarding the abolition of high-security prisons, he said that this kind of prison is abolished but that does not mean that security is abolished.
