Bloggers in Kyrgyzstan focusing on religious topics are now legally obligated to obtain certification. This new regulation, announced by Nurgazy Kyrgyzbaev, chief specialist of the National Agency for Religious Affairs and Interethnic Relations on “Birinchi Radio,” requires anyone disseminating information about faith online to be certified. The law aims to regulate online religious content and ensure compliance with existing legislation. Kyrgyzbaev stated the certification will apply to all citizens involved in online religious discourse. This move signals increased government oversight of religious information shared digitally within Kyrgyzstan. The agency intends to monitor and control the spread of religious content throughout the country's online sphere. Further details about the certification process were not immediately available.
