BALI REJECTS PORNOGRAPHY LAW

Denpasar, Nov 1 (ANTARA) - The Balinese people reject implementation of the anti-pornography law passed by the House of Representatives recently.
Their rejection was put in a letter signed by the governor of Bali, Made Mangku Pastika and the chairman of the regional legislative assembly (DPRD) IB Wesnawa on behalf of all the people of Bali.
The coordinator of the Balinese People, IG Ngurah Harta, said here on Saturday he hailed the Balinese government's stance that reflected the aspiration of the people.
"The stance is very aspirative and in line with the philosophy and sociology developing in the island's community," he said.
He said the governor and the DPRD chairman had agreed to prepare legal actions to face the implementation of the law which they said was discriminative.
Governor Pastika said he had already written a letter to reject the implementation of the law.
The letter he signed with the DPRD chairman was sent to the Indonesian president, the speaker of the House of Representatives, and the minister of justice and human rights, he said.
