With reference to its previous comments concerning the restrictions on the possibility of standing for election or being appointed to the chairmanship or membership of management committees of trade union organizations or federations, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that section 4 of Act No. 95 of 1980 on the protection of values only applies to persons who have been convicted of: (i) having called for the rejection of holy laws; (ii) having incited young persons to misbehave by calling for them to free themselves from religious values or loyalty to the country; (iii) having published or disseminated news, information or rumours which are false, controversial or constitute provocative propaganda.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information in its future reports on the effect given in practice to this section.
