Contempts of the Lawful Authority of Public Servants
Threatening injury to a public servant (or someone they're believed interested in), to induce them to act, forbear, or delay in connection with their public functions, is punished with up to 2 years' imprisonment, fine, or both.
This criminalises threatening a public official (or their loved ones) specifically to influence their official conduct.
Threatening a government official's family member specifically to pressure that official into approving or delaying an official action is an offence under this section.
