Protects the war merchants and the corrupt, a former parliamentarian criticizes the cybercrime law in Syria

The former deputy in "People's Assembly" of the regime, Nabil Saleh, criticized the draft amendments to "law against cybercrime" currently before the parliament, describing it as aggressive, and that it "protects war merchants."

Saleh added on his Facebook page that today People's Assembly is studying the amendments to "Cybercrime Law" that "will disrupt freedom of opinion and expression."

He explained that the law poses a danger to citizens in every sentence they write, a message they send, or a "joke" they circulate, noting that this law partially protected the wealthy of war and authority officials from criticism and scandal.

He pointed out that they will add some amendments to the law, with the aim of filling the gaps from which "there is danger to them, and thus the shield of protection against criticism, even if it is true, will be doubled, and their immunity will be raised to the point that their status is comparable to the Divine Being."

And "Saleh" indicated, according to the Syria TV website, that those he described as "righteous representatives" in the "Council" will vote against him, because it constitutes an aggression against the freedom of expression of the Syrian people.

He added that their experience with the "cybercrime police" and its courts showed that they arrested "good individuals, including writers, journalists, and heroic fighters who protected the state from its collapse," while they did not arrest a corrupt person, as he put it.
