The decree criminalizes “committing acts of discrimination or refraining from action that would result in discrimination against individuals or a group on the basis of gender, race, language or religion,” a council statement said.Those found guilty face a three-months jail sentence or a fine of up to a hundred thousand Egyptian pounds ($16,800).Protesters and politicians accused the ruling military of using tactics reminiscent of Mubarak’s police force against dissenters in last week’s violence.

“(The police) are currently specifying the type of the explosive and its quantity,” the Interior Ministry said in a statement.Television journalist Sasho Dikov, known for his critical attitude to the cabinet, said he had never received any threats.At the beginning of the year, a bomb exploded in front of the office of an opposition newspaper.The government said at the time that the blast, which took place hours before the visit of a group of EU Commissioners, was meant to discredit the cabinet.In July, small explosions rocked the offices of two right-wing opposition parties the day before Brussels was to issue its annual report on Bulgaria’s progress in fighting endemic graft and organized crime.Two men were arrested shortly after the blasts in front of the parties’ offices over suspicions they planted the explosives.In a joint news conference with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov Thursday, Barroso praised the work of the government and said Sofia needed to continue the fight against crime and to press ahead with the reform of its judiciary system.
