(Helsinki Times) A task force at the Ministry of Justice is recommending that the anti-terrorism legislation be amended by criminalising the performance of tasks crucial for the criminal activities of terrorist organisations, writes Helsingin Sanomat.
Public incitement to terrorism should similarly be made punishable under the criminal code, it viewed in a report presented to Minister of Justice Anna-Maja Henriksson (SFP) on Tuesday.
“It seems justified to adopt active participation in the operations of a terrorist organisation as grounds for punitiveness, as membership in a terrorist organisation is usually manifested in such behaviour. Public incitement to join a terrorist group can generally be considered dangerous,” she commented.
