Terrorist sympathiser arrested
A 27-year-old man was arrested on Saturday night for inciting violence and posting slogans and writings of terrorist organisations on social media. The suspect “called for endangering people’s lives and carrying out acts of violence in a manner that creates fear in the society,” police tweeted.
The arrest came two days after President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih ratified amendments to the anti-terrorism law that criminalised promoting or supporting extremist groups.
