A teenage boy, with a small number
of followers on Twitter, tweets an
offensive and sexist joke that
trivializes the disappearance and
likely murder of a local schoolgirl. It
provokes a strong critical response

teachers in his school or other
community leaders, but it does not
justify the Country imposing
sanctions or other restrictions.
