The federal law introduces liability for public action that shows clear and obvious disrespect for society and intent to offend religious believers’ feelings. The maximum penalty for such offences is imprisonment for up to one year. If the offence is committed in a place specifically intended for holding worship, the maximum penalty can be up to three years’ imprisonment.

The law also increases the penalties for violating legislation on freedom of conscience, freedom of worship, and religious organisations.
