Amendments to Penalize Discrediting Law Enforcement Officials Rejected in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan
The Senate of Uzbekistan's Oliy Majlis has sent back for revision a bill that proposed penalties for publishing photos and videos discrediting law enforcement officials.
During a plenary session, the upper house of parliament reviewed the bill "On Amendments to the Criminal, Criminal Procedure, and Administrative Liability Codes in Connection with the Improvement of Road Traffic Safety." The bill included provisions such as introducing a penalty points system for traffic violations and criminal liability for drunk driving.
Particularly controversial were the amendments that sought to penalize the publication of photos and videos that could discredit law enforcement officers. However, the senators concluded that these provisions require further revision and rejected them.
Tolibjon Madumarov, Deputy Chairman of the Senate Committee on Defense and Security, emphasized the need for more detailed work on the provisions regarding penalty points and the ban on publishing materials that discredit law enforcement.
A reconciliation commission between the two houses of parliament is planned to be formed to further refine the bill.
