Encoding Query string causes Error 500 DXA 1.4

Question

I am having this issue when I am sending an encoded query string. The server is returning a 500 Error.

I am using the js function encodeURIComponent to encode things in the front end and then use .NET decode function in the backend. For example:

country=Finland&type=Sales+Partner

country%3DFinland%26type%3DSales%2BPartner

I tried to check the validaterequest in the web.config but I don't think that is the problem, since the request does reach the controller.
