Bill against Pornography and Pornoaction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bill against Pornography and Pornoaction (Indonesian: Rancangan Undang-Undang Anti Pornografi dan Pornoaksi) is a bill proposed by the Indonesian legislative assembly Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat on February 14, 2006. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography and pornoaction is punishable by law, pornoaction being a self-invented word that means "actions deemed indecent". This include, but not limited to, public acts such as spouses kissing[citation needed], women showing their navels and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear.
This bill has provoked a reaction from many people who think that the government is trying to limit their freedom. Several public demonstrations have ensued both by people who support (the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) and Muslim religious leaders) and reject the bill (feminists, artists).
