Danish police are prosecuting 14 people for allegedly sharing a video showing the murder of a young woman. The law is normally used to prosecute those who share images of people that they would not want to be made public, such as revenge porn.
Police inspector Michael Kjeldgaard at East Jutland Police said that the individuals were charged after sharing the footage via Facebook Messenger or other social media, according to a statement released on Thursday.The video, which authorities believe is authentic, shows the murder of one of two young hikers found beheaded near the town of Imil, in the Atlas Mountains south of Marrakesh on December 17, 2018.
"It's important that everybody knows that it could be illegal to share these kinds of images," he said.Under aggravating circumstances it is punishable by up to three years in prison, according to Danish police.Two more people were charged with apologizing for terrorism, which relates to expressing"joy or amusement" about a terror attack, said Nielsen.
