We join the organisation, ARTICLE 19, in urging Kazakhstan to withdraw its dangerous bill targeting so-called “LGBT propaganda”🌈

These vague, overbroad restrictions would impose sweeping censorship & blatantly violate Kazakhstan’s human rights obligations

Kazakhstan: Scrap the harmful ‘LGBT propaganda’ ban - ARTICLE 19
The amendments institutionalize discrimination, fuel social stigma, and increase the risks of violence and exclusion faced by LGBT people in Kazakhstan.

A unanimous vote in Kazakhstan’s parliament has pushed a harsh ban on so-called “LGBT propaganda” to the brink of becoming law

It now awaits senate approval, then just one signature from President Tokayev could lock in a devastating new era of repression
Kazakhstan’s parliament approves ban on 'LGBT propaganda' in unanimous vote
The law will now be sent to the Kazakh senate and, if approved, will require president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s signature to take effect.

Russia’s new state dictionary now claims authoritarianism is the “most effective” form of government, which is hilarious coming from a regime that panics at the sight of a ballot box🤦‍♂️😂

Russia’s new state dictionary calls authoritarianism the ‘most effective’ form of government and bans the word ‘ass’ — Meduza
In April, Russia introduced a new Explanatory Dictionary of the State Language of the Russian Federation, compiled at St. Petersburg State University and immediately added to the official list of normative dictionaries that government agencies are required to use. In November, The Barents Observer noted that the dictionary’s authors say “some” definitions were coordinated with the Russian Orthodox Church’s legal department and prepared under the oversight of the Justice Ministry. They state outright that these entries are meant to reflect the “traditional spiritual and moral values” outlined in the presidential decree on state policy principles. The dictionary also cracks down on profanity, expanding the list of “offensive” words to include such linguistic threats as ass, shit, and fart. Meanwhile, it omits some words entirely — from “Gulag” and “Stalinism” to “faith,” “hope,” “good,” and “truth.” Below are some of the most illustrative entries from the new “state dictionary.”
