No one in Kazakhstan has been held liable under the law banning LGBT propaganda, Deputy Culture and Information Minister Yevgeny Kochetov said, Orda.kz reports.
Kochetov made the statement while answering journalists’ questions. According to the Ministry of Culture and Information, the norm is still being monitored through legal review, but no cases involving penalties have been recorded so far.
You can say that if we even look at the information field, including on this subject, by and large, nothing has changed. We see that in this case this norm... well, let’s say, acted ‘preventively’ so that people think before publishing this or that content. But as for liability, from our side, within the framework of legal monitoring, there were no such cases.Kochetov said.
He added that materials had been blocked online even before the law was adopted, and that no new restrictions tied specifically to this norm had been introduced.
Kochetov also stressed that human rights issues — for example, media coverage of rights violations against LGBT people — do not fall under the definition of propaganda.
