    I recall the 55th plenary session of the Senate of the Republic of Uzbekistan, when and where a proposed law that would have criminalized taking and distributing photos or videos of law enforcement officers "with the purpose of defamation" was rejected. This is a progress! Center for Progressive Reforms took a generous stand on this issue, explaining why this article should be removed ENTIRELY from the law. As a non-resident fellow affiliated with the Center for Progressive Reforms, I see this center as a reliable source of information... The Center for Progressive Reforms is a leading 'think tank' in Uzbekistan that conducts in-depth analysis and thorough research, inter alia. If you want to read in-depth analyses of important societal changes, you can follow the Center for Progressive Reforms' official Telegram channel (https://t.me/cpr_uz). My thoughts in brief: This decision marks a positive step toward transparency and accountability in Uzbekistan's state bodies, and I 100% agree with the center. The proposal indeed conflicts with Uzbekistan's commitments under international agreements like the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), particularly Article 19, which guarantees freedom of expression. It also violates other key global instruments, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 19), which protects free speech and information access. South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, and Mexico are among those developing countries where laws restricting the recording of law enforcement officers faced significant opposition and ultimately failed, reflecting the success of civil society. #TransparencyInUzbekistan #AccountabilityMatters #FreedomOfExpression #ProgressiveReforms
