Three new draft laws have been submitted for consultation, which would grant police and courts greater powers to criminalize, monitor, and increase penalties for the growing solidarity movement with Palestine, according to the website. Puls48.
People who participate in demonstrations, meetings, or other events in which they express solidarity with Palestinians are at risk of further punishment up to 50% if they commit crimes related to religion, race, gender, or the like.
In addition, the National Police will be able to impose a stricter penalty period, which will be applied nationwide, where the same violations will result in a 50% higher penalty.
وتشمل هذه المقترحات، التي أرسلها وزير العدل بيتر هوملغارد للتشاور، تشديد حرية التعبير على الإنترنت. وفي المستقبل، ستتمكن الشرطة الوطنية من المطالبة، دون أمر من المحكمة، بأن تقوم المنصات بإزالة ما يسمى بالمحتوى “المتعلق بالإرهاب” من صفحاتها. سيؤثر هذا على كل شيء بدءًا من وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي وحتى مواقع الويب ووسائل الإعلام الإخبارية.
The purpose of these bills is to implement the agreement on combating anti-Semitism, which was concluded by all parties in the Danish parliament in June.
The strictest penalties apply to hate crimes related to ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual activity, or gender identity.
The only concrete example cited by the Justice Department of a case in which the police would later be able to establish special penal zones and impose an additional 50% penalty on participants in demonstrations or meetings is the attack launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
“مثال على الحادث الذي سيتم تغطيته هو الهجوم الإرهابي الذي نفذته حماس في إسرائيل في 7 أكتوبر 2023، حيث قامت السلطات بعد ذلك بمراقبة مستمرة لتطور مسرح الجريمة لجرائم الكراهية ذات دوافع معادية للسامية”.
The Justice Department anticipates a swift consultation process, giving organizations one month to submit their comments. The bill is expected to take effect on February 1, 2025, according to the source.
