MOSCOW, March 29 (RAPSI) - Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security Viktor Ozerov on Tuesday submitted a bill to the lower house of parliament that would authorize prosecutors to file a claim with  communications regulator Roskomnadzor for restriction of access to websites containing calls for riots, according to the State Duma database.

The amendments are proposed to the Federal Law "On Information, Information Technologies, and Information Protection".

Under the bill, Prosecutor General, his deputies, prosecutors of Russia’s federal subjects can request Roskomnadzor to block information resources that distribute information containing calls for mass riots, extremism, and participation in public events held with violation of an authorized order.
