Abstracts

The exercise of freedom of expression includes freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. However, the exercise of freedoms in the democratic society may be subject to conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law to protect national security, territorial integrity or public safety or for the prevention of disorder or crime. The authors present their arguments for the maintaining the criminalization of extremist material possession and criminal offense of possession of extremist material pursuant to section 422c of the Criminal Code. Preservation of extremist material confirms the perpetrator the extremist ideas are correct and may incite further extremist crime. By analysing the extremist hatred and presenting specific court decisions the authors propose to retain the status quo.
