Members of the Minority Caucus in Parliament have called for the removal of specific laws. They want to repeal Sections 207 and 208 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act.
The caucus believes these laws are being misused by security agencies. They stated that the provisions criminalize offensive conduct.
The laws also cover the publication of false information. This information must be likely to cause public alarm.
The Minority Caucus argues that repealing these sections is important. They believe it will help stop the abuse of these legal provisions.
The group expressed their concerns about how these laws are applied. They are advocating for legislative change to address these issues.
