As a protest against the new Internet media law currently under consideration in the Parliament of Kazakhstan, which would empower the government to block access to websites that “run counter to” the legislation of Kazakhstan” , an NGO has sent a draft law to Parliament proposing regulation of graffiti.
Parodying the language of the law on the Internet, the president of Adil Soz said:

“The draft bill…forms the legal base for generating, sharing and storage of information on fences,” Tamara Kaleeva, the president of international freedom of speech fund “Adil Soz”, is quoted as saying.

She said the law would also define the main principles of the state “fence policy”, the rights of “fence readers” and the way information sharing should be controlled.

The main objective of this bill, Kaleeva said, is “to show the absurdity of the amendments” the lower chamber of the Kazakh parliament (Majilis) have adopted….
Tamara Kaleeva said the protest organizers’ idea was to show the future of Kaznet, “when it will turn into useless ruins”, reports Regnum, a Russian news agency.
