The law, which has come under a damning scrutiny from all sides, makes
punishable the exchange of any information that’s deemed antigovernment.
The law makes it illegal the exchange of emails, audiovisuals and pictures that encourage people to criticize, protest and rise against the regime.
Human rights organizations say the law tramples on human rights and the right to information. The rights groups also said the law is intended to spy on the exchange of information among people.
Rights groups have accused the East African country of restricting freedom of expression and using spyware against dissidents living overseas. An Ethiopian court last month charged an opposition activist over his Facebook posts.
