Police finish investigation into threats against politicians

Faroese police have completed their investigation into threats against politicians who supported changes to the abortion law, KVF reports.

The threats were sent on social media or by text message to members of the Løgting, the Faroese parliament, who voted last year for a change allowing freer access to abortion.

Police believe they know who made the threats, deputy police chief Jógvan Páll Joensen said. The suspect lives in Denmark, so the case has been sent to Danish police.

If the case goes to court, it will be referred to Føroya Rættur, the Faroese court. It could also be resolved through a proposed fine.
