'Wilful promotion of hatred and advocating genocide are hate propaganda (hate speech) offences which require the Attorney General's consent to lay charges. These charges are often laid at a later time,' police said. 'If a person is charged and convicted of the offence, the Judge will take into consideration hate as an aggravating factor when imposing a sentence.'
