The Gazette Notification relating to the Prohibition of Obscene Publications Bill will be amended

The Minister of Justice has given directives to revoke the special gazette notification on the Bill to prohibit any form of obscene publications.

Accordingly, Justice Minister Ali Sabry, ordering the nullification of the gazette notification, has called for resubmission of an amended Bill to the Cabinet of Ministers after obtaining the suggestions of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) and civil society groups.
