Oslo city politicians speak out against online hate

Politicians from across Norway’s political spectrum have come together in an initiative against increasing online hate speech.

Labour municipal politician Khamshajiny Gunaratnam, a deputy spokesperson in the Oslo city council, spoke of her own experience receiving hateful messages.

“It is a huge problem. We have seen that it is often directed at young girls, and it is even worse if they are from a minority background,” Gunaratnam told NRK.
