Law is only for those who incite hatred on social media? What about those who incite hatred holding public meetings, those who throw petrol bombs at mosques and shops? Looks like law enforcement is only for miscreants from minority communities.

The Saudi state news agency SPA alleged that Qatar “embraces multiple terrorist and sectarian groups aimed at disturbing stability in the region, including the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and promotes the message and schemes of these groups through their media constantly.”..so look for the groups in SL who are funded by this country...

Better late than never. Do something since we have a dud for a Law and Order Minister who is no good.

Free is speech freely available. Hate speech comes with a price.... heavy price... that is what law and order in a country.
