Project description:
The current and new regulations in the legislation pose a threat to freedom of speech. I conducted an analysis of court decisions on the open ressource www.act.sot.kg and found out which norms pose a risk to the media.
Impact reached:
Journalists will be able to study court decisions. At present, the analysis of judicial decisions in the country remains not the most popular tool.
Techniques/technologies used:
I had to analyze the massive volume of judgments on the www.act.sot.kg site, which is hardly friendly. Downloaded, analyzed and drew conclusions.
What was the hardest part of this project?
The most difficult thing is to understand the scope and impact of legislative norms on the quality of the media in the country, to identify how the norms of the law are violated and the balance of power between freedom of speech and responsibility is maintained.
What can others learn from this project?
The analysis of data on judicial decisions is not the privilege of only lawyers, but the right of civil society.
