Justice Minister Alma Zadic (Greens) assures that the measures planned by the government after the terrorist attack in Vienna will move “within the existing constitution and the ECHR (human rights convention).”

There is no preventive detention, Zadic emphasized in an interview with the “Presse” (Saturday edition). An electronic terrorist shackle could only be made available after a conditional release until the prison sentence has been served.

“This is about the possibility of electronic surveillance of the residence after a conditional release,” Zadic said to the ankle, so that the conditions of the court are verified, for example, if someone adheres to the prohibition of entering certain clubs. “After serving the prison sentence, surveillance is in any case a matter for the security authorities and the secret service,” Zadic clarified.

Regarding the new announced criminal offenses against political Islam, the Green Justice minister also emphasized that one cannot focus only on a certain religion: “Constitutionally, it is clear that only religiously neutral formulations can be used.”

For the planned reform of the application of the measures, Zadic awaits the adequate budget; for this, between 25 and 30 million euros are needed.
