The Prosecutor General's Office has launched three pre-trial investigations for propaganda of suicide, including among children. The head of the department, Berik Asylov, wrote about this on the social network X (former Twitter):
"Participants and administrators of several Telegram channels will be checked regarding the content that pushed children to commit suicide."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been instructed to check all cases of suicide in the country for signs of Article 313-1 of the Criminal Code (illegal distribution of works promoting the cult of cruelty and violence).
Other social networks will be checked under the same article for the presence of corresponding illegal content. The Prosecutor General promised to take personal control of the investigations.
International requests for legal assistance will be sent to foreign sites distributing such materials.
As part of these investigations, examinations will be conducted, and the issue of possible changes to the legislation to strengthen the fight against propaganda of violence on the Internet will be considered.
Earlier, the Prosecutor General noted that the wave of child suicides had caused a wide resonance in society, so they were instructed to keep the investigation of each fact under special control.
“In general, against the backdrop of the influence of social networks on children’s suicidal activity, prosecutors have succeeded in blocking 15 thousand malicious sites and links,” Berik Asylov reported.
