    Another Bill from Boyer

    Friday, 29 June 2012 23:52


    French MP Valerie Boyer is reportedly drafting another bill
    criminalizing denial of the so called Armenian genocide. According to
    Turkish Cihan news agency, she promised that the new bill will be in
    line with all constitutional demands.

    On January 23, the French Senate passed the bill making it a crime to
    deny the so called Armenian genocide. The bill envisaged imposing a
    45,000 euro fine and a year in prison for anyone in France who denies
    this event.

    Later, the French Constitutional Council ruled that the bill as
    anti-constitutional. In a statement the Council said the document
    represented an `unconstitutional breach of the practice of freedom of
    expression and communication.'
