Security Police act on threats
against politicians
The Norwegian Police Security Service (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste, PST) have found it neccesary to visit homes of persons who have made threats on the Internet against politicians. There have recently been concrete threats against government ministers.
- We have followed up on individuals who have published threats against political leaders. We have visited those behind the threats at home, and talked to them, says PST information adviser Martin Bernsen to the newspaper VG.
- We do this in order to show that we take the threats they have published seriously. Most are very surprised, Bernsen says.
He says PST has observed that there is a trend in recent months that the threshold for publishing threats on the Internet has become lower.
