Anti-Hate speech Law

Posted by nusrat on July 17th, 2018

In UAE, the anti-hate speech law has been passed. This law has been passed in order to avoid any sort of violence in the people.

Sometimes due to hate-speech, the people get provoked and end up doing so many awful things. In order to restrain people, form it, the anti-hate speech law has been passed in UAE.

In UAE, everybody is free to practice any religion until or unless they do not harm anyone. the anti-hate speech law has been passed by the same motive. If somebody's speech is provoking people to take extreme steps, it is equivalent to harming others. That is why it is not allowed at all.

provoking extremes in people can be hazardous. So, people must not practice it at any cost or else they will have to deal with the consequences.

It is to be noted here that the law that has been implemented must be obeyed by all the people that live in Dubai no matter what caste, creed or colour do they have.

Here is what new law NO-.2 of 2015 has it for the people in UAE;

  • it will criminalize ever act that will arouse any sort of hatred related to religion in people
  • It will criminalize every act that will be done to insult any religion in any way
  • All the people who will consider the people of other religions and nonbelievers will be punished
  • An environment full of tolerance, broad-mindedness, and acceptance will be provided in UAE
  • All the people will be protected irrespective of caste, creed, colour, race, beliefs etc.
  • Anyone who will break this law will be jailed
  • Breakage of law will cause the people to pay fine
  • Any act that will result in the insult of God, His prophets or apostles or holy books or houses of worship or graveyards is prohibited completely. No exceptions at all
  • No discrimination is allowed in any way
  • No groups are allowed to provoke hatred that is related to religion
  • People associated with any hate crimes will be punished. People supporting such groups will be punished as well
  • No such event is allowed in which the people sow seeds regarding discrimination, hatred on any basis.
  • Encourages people who submit themselves in front of the authorities after breaking or violating the law
  • The law also allows people to waive the penalties of these people who surrender themselves to the authorities after breaking the law
  • This anti-hate speech law also merges with other laws to protect people who are privileges. Such people include women, children, and individuals with disabilities or others

Such an effort of introducing this law will surely reduce so many problems that can get caused form the root level. This law will make sure that nobody does anything that arouses hatred in the people in any way. If people will keep themselves away from such activities, they will be able to live a peaceful as well as a healthy life.
