Austrian Interior Minister Proposes Ankle Bracelets for Islamists; Greens Cry Foul

Austrian Interior Minister Karner (ÖVP) proposes extending electronic monitoring to Islamists, linking it to existing use for domestic violence offenders. Green women's spokesperson Disoski criticizes the linkage as 'cheap polemic' and 'political manipulation'. The proposal is at an early stage, with no legislative text yet; Spain's precedent since 2009 is cited.
