The Constitutional Court has dismissed the appeal challenging the constitutionality of the Law on Combating Information, Publications, and Publications Crimes, asserting that it did not find merit in the argument that these laws contravene constitutional articles.
Furthermore, the court also rejected two appeals by two companies which contended that specific provisions of the Civil Code and the Commercial Code were unconstitutional, reports Al-Rai daily.
Regarding the appeal related to information crimes and the Publications Law, the court underlined that it is within the legislator’s purview to criminalize actions that could potentially harm individuals’ dignity or their lives.
The court emphasized that this interpretation is universally understood and remains consistent in its content. Thus, any claim that the law infringes upon personal freedom or conflicts with constitutional articles lacks a solid basis.
The court explained that the legislator has delineated actions that impact an individual’s dignity, and harm, in this context, is characterized by actions that devalue a person, belittle them, mistreat them, or establish distinctions with the intention of demeaning them.
This definition is clear and universally comprehensible, leaving no room for ambiguity. Consequently, any assertion that this law encroaches upon personal freedom or runs counter to the specified constitutional articles is unfounded, warranting the court’s rejection of the case.
