Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon signed a law on Wednesday removing criminal liability for "liking" posts on social media containing material that publicly calls for terrorism or other serious crimes, his press service said. Official figures show more than 1,500 people have been jailed for liking and commenting on articles that the authorities consider extremist, including videos and posts by opposition figures. Tajikistan is a landlocked country of some 10 million people sandwiched between Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and China.

Tajikistan has decriminalized the act of liking or reposting content on social media that is deemed extremist, as part of a broader initiative to reform its criminal code and reduce prison overcrowding. Previously, such actions could result in up to eight years in prison, but now, only the original posting of extremist content will be punishable by law. This change comes after international criticism and aims to address the issue of the country's prisons being filled with individuals convicted of minor offenses related to social media activity.
