3.  Article 1(a) of the Convention.  In its previous comments, the Committee noted the provisions of the Penal Code imposing penal sanctions of imprisonment in cases of incitement to agitation against the law or authorities (section 268), agitation against communities (section 269) and disturbance of the public order by openly declaring false facts or by spreading rumours (section 270). The Committee asked the Government to supply information on the application in practice of these provisions.

It also repeats its request for a copy of the media law adopted in 1995, in order to be able to assess its conformity with the Convention.
