But somehow am disapointed that we are in need of this law. “This is a national security crime” he said, referring to article article 25 of criminal law which states a prison term “not exceeding five years will be handed down to anyone who publicly challenges the rights or authorities of the Amir or insults him – whether in speech, writing, drawing, or any other means of expression.”

This way it would be clear that one is breaking a law. My 2 cents on this issue is that it was rather exagerated a bit, and they might have been some resistance towards the arrest. Maybe the arresting police officers were a little heavy handed, and might get their wrists slapped.. who knows. More news will come out soon.. all will be clarified. There's bound to be some kind of damage control on this issue.
