A democracy must follow rule of law and protect everyone's constitutional rights. Publishing the names of those people means inviting others to commit a lynching, which goes against the foundations of democracy and sets us on the path to turn our countries into sad reflections of what Russia currently is.

If a country's body of home affairs notices that some people might be likely to commit particularly worrisome crimes, it is natural for them to put them under investigation, but they shouldn't be punished unless they actually commit crimes. We don't want to be Russia.
