When contacted, a police spokesperson confirm a report had been lodged.
The spokesperson said, “The right to free speech does not extend to making remarks that incite racial and religious friction and conflict. The Internet may be a convenient medium to express one's views but members of the public should bear in mind that they are no less accountable for their actions online. Any person who re-posts or contributes offensive comments to the postings that are the subject of ongoing investigations, and is also found to have committed an offence, will be dealt with in accordance with the law.” Full story
