2) publicly disseminates statements or other expressions aimed at turning the public opinion to support the commission of acts of aggression,
3) systematically disseminates manifestly unfounded or misleading information on Finland’s national defence or the military or defence policy intentions of Finland, or
4) unlawfully commits a violent act against a foreign state or a representative, territory or property of a foreign state,
