The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Miklos Haraszti, criticised as restrictive today amendments to the country's communication law, adopted on 24 June by the Kazakh Parliament, and called on President Nursultan Nazarbayev not to promulgate them.
"Despite some minor changes introduced by the Senate, this law limits freedom of the Internet and media freedom in general. Its adoption would be a step backwards in the democratisation of Kazakhstan's media governance," Haraszti wrote in a letter to President Nazarbayev.
