The police have confirmed they are investigating a complaint about violent threats made in an anti-immigration Facebook group.
The Cyber Crime Unit is “making the necessary technical enquiries into the two reported Facebook accounts... with the hope of identifying the person/s administering them,” the police sergeant assigned to the case said.
The complaints were made against Facebook accounts using the names Nick Schembri and Mark Borg Borg.
Under a photo of NGO representatives that included the complainants, Schembri had wrote that “we should start by f******” their families. Borg Borg replied: “these women deserve to be beaten with rods”.
Ms Pisani and Ms Ellul also complained about posts which referred to shooting all Muslims.
