Belarus could introduce criminal responsibility for storing child pornography

Minsk, April 11, Interfax - The Belarusian Interior Ministry has proposed to make responsibility for spreading child pornography more severe, as well as to introduce criminal punishment for its storage, deputy director of the department for countering hi-tech crimes Andrey Miklashevich said.

"There is criminal responsibility for storing and downloading child pornography. Such a provision should be introduced in Belarus as well," Miklashevich told journalists on Friday.

Miklashevich also referred to experts saying that "people who watch child pornography could be more prone to violence against children, including their own."
