The Secretariat of the Committee has said
that the draft law No. 2050a offers to ban promulgation of terror ideology and
information aimed at propaganda or justification of terrorism and to introduce
criminal responsibility for breaching of the said ban.
Participants
of the discussion expressed certain concerns over the possibility to bring
people, including representatives of mass media organizations, to criminal
responsibility for exercising their right to free speech in case the offered
amendments bearing inexact wordings are passed.
