In Poland, police continue to detain teenagers after attacks on schools

WARSAW, September 12 - RIA Novosti. Polish police continue to detain teenagers after a series of attacks on schools, Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration of the Republic Marcin Kerwiński said during a government meeting.

"Eighteen new people have been detained since yesterday's report, bringing the total number of people detained to 135," Kerwiński said.

He also informed that on Monday 20 thousand police officers are busy ensuring security directly in schools.

According to the minister, this strengthening is planned to continue for at least a few more days.

In turn, Polish Minister of Information Technology Krzysztof Gawkowski clarified that decisions to detain young people are mainly made based on an analysis of their activities on the Internet. He explained that young people who are detained as part of the prevention of new attacks on schools can be divided into three groups.

"The largest group is inspired by tragic events, and most of the online incidents are jokes. The second group is the group that draws inspiration from computer games and the storylines of those games. And the last group, the least numerous, is inspired by extreme views related to the Nazi and far-right subculture," he explained.
