Are there punishments for racism in your country?

Yes, there are laws in place to prevent racism. The constitution has implemented a sentence of up to 10 years in prison for a person charged with racial discrimination. Moreover, a person who writes or says anything against a specific race that passes off as racial discrimination or uses violence against these races can end with a sentence of ten years on prison as well as a hefty fine.

Moreover, even signs or gestures aimed at insulting people of the opposite race can lead to an imprisonment of 5 years with a fine as well. With such laws in place, racism should be eliminated. However, many of these laws never come in to action.

The constitution has stated that any one charged with racial discrimination can land in jail for up to ten years and have to cough up a fine. Under the section any word, both written or spoken or sign attempting to discriminate against individuals on the basis of race or involved in act intended to use criminal violence or force against a particular race may part with lump sum fine accompanied with imprisonment of up to 10 years.

In addition to this, the section states that any word, gesture or act intended to insult a member of a particular lead to imprisonment that may extend to five years with a fine.
