俄羅斯立法限制網上批評政府

The lower house of Russia’s parliament has passed two bills that restrict online criticism of the government and authorizes the imposition of jail sentences or fines on those who publish erroneous information about the authorities.
俄羅斯議會下議院（即俄羅斯國家杜馬）通過了兩項法案，限制在網上批評政府，並授權對那些發佈有關政府錯誤信息的人士除以監禁或罰款。

The State Duma passed the measures Thursday and they are expected to be approved quickly in the upper chamber, after which they would be presented to President Vladimir Putin to be signed into law.
俄羅斯國家杜馬週四通過了這些措施，預計它們很快將會在上議院（即俄羅斯聯邦委員會）獲得通過，之後它們將被提交給普京總統簽署爲法律。

The laws call for people found guilty of publishing "indecent" material that demonstrates "disrespect for society, the state [and] state symbols of the Russian Federation" and government officials to be penalized. Repeat offenders could be sentenced to up to 15 days in jail.
這些法律要求懲罰那些發表“不得體”材料，“不尊重社會、俄羅斯聯邦以及聯邦象徵”以及政府官員的人士。累犯可能被判處最多15天的監禁。

Many opponents of the legislation view it as part of a broader Kremlin effort to suppress criticism and tighten control.
很多反對這項立法的人士認爲，這是克里姆林宮打壓批評言論和強化控制的廣泛舉措之一。

Television, radio and print organizations are already subject to government retribution for disseminating false information. The legislation approved by the lower chamber targets individuals and online media.
此前電視、廣播和印刷機構傳播虛假信息已經要遭受政府懲處，俄羅斯國家杜馬通過的這項法案主要針對個人和網絡媒體。
