Upon the petition of the former Minister of Justice, the Constitutional Court has declared the provision regarding defamation unconstitutional and invalid.

In cases of defamation spread on the internet by private individuals, there is no provision for the possibility of refuting the defamation, presenting a response to it, or removing it. A gap in the law’s regulation has been identified, and it has been noted that under these conditions, the rights of individuals are violated when they are defamed by entities that are not media outlets.

We have found out the reason why the former Minister of Justice submitted such a petition in our prepared report.
