Bali lawyers prepare challenge to porn bill
DENPASAR – Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com) reports that a group of Bali legal experts has drafted a judicial review against the new anti-pornography laws recently signed into law by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
The 50-page judicial review is scheduled to be presented to the Constitutional Court next week and argues that the new anti-pornography laws robs large segments of the Indonesian population of cultural rights of self-expression guaranteed under the national constitution.
The review also identifies 21 separate professions that will suffer creativity issues under the new law.
Among the “threatened” professions cited as being “at risk†are dancers, choreographers, poets, short story writers, novelists, actors, playwrights, directors, gymnastic instructors, tourism workers, photographers, painters, art gallery owners, sculptors, art shop owners, singers, composers, recording studio owners, models, designers, broadcasters and reporters.
