Having laws that protect disadvantaged groups from hate speech is the opposite of being an oppressive country. The fact that these laws are actually enforced is further to be lauded.

Should you follow the Wikipedia links using a translator it seems she was investigated by the police, prosecuted, and then cleared in court. That's probably how a democratic society should work.

Do also note that the only linked English source is a thin reprint of a right wing news site headquartered in Estonia that conveniently avoids that fact. Keep in mind which sphere of influence that likely falls under.
