This would extend to even the USA. One simply cannot threaten the head of a state or nation, a person who threatens Obama would still be thrown in prison even in the USA.

Threatening to kill is not media freedom.

Cheers! Media freedom doesn't mean threatening and insulting people. via DM Android App
