The Riigikogu amended the law.
The police can now prohibit a violent person from approaching.
The ban can last up to 72 hours.
Previously, the ban was only 12 hours.
This helps protect victims.
The police must assess the situation.
The police document the decision in writing.
The Minister of the Interior says this is good.
The victim now has more time to seek help.
There are many domestic violence cases in Estonia.
The police use the ban about 500 times a year.
The ban helps the victim feel safer.
A Riigikogu member says this does not violate rights.
The ban is temporary.
Other countries have longer bans.
The new law will take effect after the president's signature.
