Vilket uttryck kan vara hets mot folkgrupp?
Which expression can constitute agitation against a population group?
Correct answer: A circulated threat against a religious group
The law protects groups against disseminated threats referring to characteristics such as religion or ethnic origin. Criticising ideas and political decisions differs from making such threats. A hate motive can also increase the sentence for other offences.
