The Constitutional Court has turned down a request to review the 2008 Anti-Pornography Law lodged by controversial lawyer Farhat Abbas in mid 2010.
“The court found that the law is Constitutional,” presiding judge Mahfud MD said in a hearing on Tuesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Farhat, impelled by the celebrity sex video scandal involving singer Nazril “Ariel” Ilham and his girlfriend and model Luna Maya, and TV presenter Cut Tari, requested that the court review explanations of several articles in the Porn Law.
Articles 4 and 6 of the law ban production, storage and broadcasting of pornographic material, but subsidiary explanations exclude porn stored for personal use and interest as criminal.
Farhat said the law therefore contradicted itself.
The court on Tuesday said it disagreed with Farhat's argument that the subsidiary explanations in the law were unconstitutional.
Constitutional judge Maria Farida Indrati added that the court had no authority to review explanations in a law that contradicted the law itself. The court, she added, could only review laws that contradicted the Constitution.
