Indonesian Minister Dreaming of a Pornography-Free Ramadan – The Jakarta Globe
Jakarta. Indonesian Communication and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring says he hopes all pornographic Web sites will be blocked before Ramadan — and is warning that even written sentences could be classified as violating the law.
The outspoken minister from the Islam-based Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) said on Thursday that he hoped the controversial new ministry plan would be enacted before the holy fasting month begins on August 11 so that pornography would not interfere with Islamic religious obligations.
Speaking at the Presidential Palace, Tifatul said the ministry was compelled by the Anti-Pornography Law to “protect citizens from the dangers of pornography.”
