According to the prosecutor, in 2025, the number of such offenses decreased by more than 23%, amounting to 314 cases compared to 2024.
Vokhidzoda noted that the decrease can be attributed to President Emomali Rahmon's directive not to initiate criminal cases for 'likes' and comments on social media. Additionally, explanatory work among the population has been intensified.
It is reported that 405 individuals previously sanctioned for extremist and terrorist actions have been released from criminal liability.
It should be recalled that in May 2025, the president signed a law abolishing liability for 'likes' and reposts, which was supported by parliament. According to the head of state, some government agencies were initiating criminal cases against citizens without sufficient grounds, and this practice needed to be stopped.
Earlier, at a press conference, the Chairman of the Supreme Court Rustam Mirzozoda noted that cases related to convictions for posting 'likes' and comments on the internet could be reviewed.
