“Kyrgyzstan has made a decision not to create a new Internet bill, but to amend the current ones,” Alisher Sabirov, Member of the Kyrgyz Parliament said Tuesday at the regional round table on human rights Internet-initiatives and online-journalism in Central Asia.
“Kyrgyzstan as part of the Interparliamentary Assembly signed a model Internet draft which was later submitted to the Kyrgyz Parliament’s consideration and caused heated debates in the society. Finally, we decided not to create a separate bill, but make amendments to the current ones. For instance, corrections to the Media bill or bill on Communications will help and prevent spread of porn, coarse language and calls for violence over the Internet,” Sabirov said.
Earlier, this was a responsibility of the Culture and Information Ministry to work out amendments to the Internet bill. Now this function was passed to the presidential secretariat.
