17-year-old IS supporter arrested again-authorities before critics?

On Friday there was a new arrest of a 17-year-old boy who had previously been convicted of his radical Islamist activities. This arrest raises questions about the effectiveness of the authorities, especially in view of the existing judgment against him.

The young man, whose activities have already caused a stir in the past, was again targeted by the security forces. His case has triggered a discussion about possible gaps in the system in public and among experts. The authorities are faced with the challenge of taking effective measures to prevent the radicalization of young people and at the same time ensure the security of the general public.

earlier conviction and their consequences

In the past, the teenager was condemned for his contributions, which propagated extremist views. These criminal records give rise to concern that despite the punishment and surveillance by the authorities, continued radicalization takes place. The incident throws a light on the question of how effective the measures of the authorities are to rehabilitate such characters and to prevent extremist movements.

The presence of a cell phone that the young person had with him when he was arrested, particularly arouses the interests of the investigators. The urgent question arises whether such devices can provide delicate information or contacts with other radicalized, which increases the potential of further hazard.

Detailed information about the incident and its background can be found in a report at www.krone.at . While the authorities analyze how it could come about this renewed arrest, it remains to be seen whether it can be drawn from it for the future handling of such cases.
