/ Jan 10“The changes to the civil code come after the July 30 introduction of criminal charges for ‘grave insult,’ in which those found guilty of repeatedly ‘cursing or insulting a person’s dignity in another extremely obscene way’ can face up to three months in prison or fines of up to three million drams (US$6,300).
