Jamila Jamambayeva, the Ombudsman of Kyrgyzstan, suggests that the initiators of the bill on non-profit organizations withdraw it. This information is reported by the press service of the Ombudsman Institute of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The institute conducted an analysis of the draft law and compared it with the requirements of national legislation and international law. In line with its mandate, the Ombudsman Institute is responsible for the protection of human rights and freedoms, including the freedom of association and freedom of speech, guaranteed by the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic and international legal norms.
Jamambayeva proposes that the initiators revise the Kyrgyz Republic Law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Kyrgyz Republic" (the Kyrgyzstan Law on Non-Profit Organizations) and make amendments to the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic to ensure compliance with international standards of human rights and proper implementation of the requirements of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The Ombudsman also suggests that the initiators work on the revised version of the bill with the involvement of experts.
Earlier, the media community of Kyrgyzstan called on the country's president to refrain from further advancing the bill "On Mass Media" and its submission to the Jogorku Kenesh. This is stated in the appeal of the media community and civil society of the Kyrgyz Republic, as reported by the Media Policy Institute.
Lawyers from the legal clinic "Adilet" previously stated that this bill violates human rights and the country's Constitution.
They emphasized that the document does not comply with human rights standards and contradicts international treaties.
