In case the second link did not lead you to the correct section:
Section 186
Defamation
Whosoever asserts or disseminates a fact related to another person
which may defame him or negatively affect public opinion about him,
shall, unless this fact can be proven to be true, be liable to
imprisonment not exceeding one year or a fine and, if the offence
was committed publicly or through the dissemination of written
materials (section 11(3)), to imprisonment not exceeding two years
or a fine.
