Was this arrest justified? A woman was recently arrested for social media posts that the government alleges incited violence.

According to Minister Paderoth, the arrest was justifiable, and perhaps should have happened sooner. He argues that public officials and private citizens are put at risk when personal information, such as the Prime Minister's residence location, is publicized, making them vulnerable.
