TURKMENISTAN and the Covit-19 pandemia!....
17:15 Turkmenistan has banned public discussion of coronavirus, according to media rights group Reporters Without Borders.
"The state-controlled media are no longer allowed to use the word," the group said in statement. "People wearing face masks or talking about the coronavirus on the street, at bus stops or in lines outside shops are liable to be arrested by plain-clothes police."
Reporters without Borders cited a report by Radio Liberty saying that the authorities would detain people discussing the virus in public areas. The most recent use of the word "coronavirus" by the state news agency appears to have been last week.
President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov has cracked down on dissenting voices in Turkmenistan in his 14 years governing the former Soviet country on the Caspian Sea.
