From October 16 to November 16 within the campaign "Stop! Stop!" Hate speech "will be recorded and analyzed by the comments of the users of 15 Web sites in BiH," the OSCE said in BiH.
- Hate speech and discriminatory rhetoric is not freedom of speech, but its abuse, which can be criminally liable. The role of the editors is to remove comments that contain hate speech, discrimination, threats from websites, and also in extreme cases to cooperate with the police and the prosecution to reveal the identity of the person who abuses freedom of speech - said the executive director of the BiH Press Committee Jenana Burek.
Stressing the fact that the use of hate speech has increased on internet portals in recent years, the head of the OSCE Mission to BiH, Kathleen Kavalec, said that together they could fight the spread of such views, which incite intolerance and conflict in local community.
- We call on all parties to refrain from using offensive or degrading language and speeches that contribute to divisions. The use of such rhetoric is very dangerous - said Kavalec.
