Soviets approve freedom of religion
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The Soviet legislature gave final approval yesterday to a law on freedom of religion, and then began debating a bill that would reduce the influence of aismism in strongest advocate, the Atheist League.
Together, the measures would give the force of law to two key reforms introduced by President Mikhail S. Gorbachev: tolerance for religion and competition for the party.
The Supreme Soviet approved the law on freedom of religion by a vote of 341-2, with no abstentions. It forbids the government from interfering with religion, formally ending the state of repression.
"This is a law that affects millions of people and a major step forward for democracy," said Mr. Gabbard.
Debate is scheduled to continue today on a proposed law on public organizations, including trade unions and political parties. It would set procedures for forming new parties and guarantee
them equal rights with the Communist Party.
It would also limit the influence of any party including the Communists, on the armed forces.
"People in military service and holding positions in law enforcement organizations shall suspend active political participation in parties," the proposed law states.
In the past, the Communist Party has kept a tight grip on the armed forces and law enforcement agencies — and through them, on the entire country.
Yuri Kalmykov, head of the legislative committee that drafted the bill, said it would allow soldiers, police officers and GB agents to remain on duty. He added that would have to stop taking orders from the party.
The law would also strike at the Communist Party's privileged position in other government agencies, eliminating party membership as a condition of employment.
condition of employment.
"A citizen's participation or non-participation in
the activity of a (political party) cannot serve as grounds for limiting his rights and freedoms, including holding a position in a state organization," the proposed law states.
The 17 million-member Communist Party agreed early this year to surrender its constitutional hold on power. Since then, many smaller parties have arisen, including the pro-reform groups Democratic Platform and Democratic Union in Moscow and various nationalist organizations such as Rukh in the Ukraine, Berlik in Uzbekistan and Sajdujs in Lithuania.
The new law would provide the first guarantee of equal rights for the new parties and establish procedures for them to register with the national government.
The 452-member legislature voted in principle Wednesday to approve the law on religion, but met again yesterday to resolve a disagreement over a clause allowing the use of school buildings for religious classes after regular hours.
