The Finnish Red Cross (SPR) has reported to the police a message posted on Facebook extolling the virtues of attacking refugee reception centres.
 
SPR has urged the police to expand its efforts in protecting the centres. Red Cross Director of International Operations Kalle Löövi, who is responsible for the security of aid operations, also spoke about the matter.
 
According to Löövi, the threat was not a criminal violation, but any direct threats of violence are reported to the police. According to Löövi, threats are occasionally levied at the Finnish Red Cross.
 
The Finnish language daily Savon Sanomat earlier reported on the threat made to Red Cross and its response.
