Dublin: A woman who was arrested following recent online threats to Ireland’s deputy premier, Simon Harris, has been released. The woman, in her 30s, was taken into custody on Tuesday.
According to Ghana News Agency, police announced on Wednesday that she was released without charge, and a file is being prepared for the director of public prosecutions. Earlier this week, Harris reported receiving ‘direct threats’ over the weekend, which also targeted his family.
Expressing his concerns, Harris stated, ‘Threatening children is despicable. It is cowardice and it is a line that no decent society should tolerate being crossed.’ However, he has decided not to comment further on the ongoing police investigation.
This is not the first time the Fine Gael leader has faced threats. He has previously received threats via social media and even a phoned bomb threat. Additionally, protests have been held outside his home, where his wife and children reside.
