CAMPACC provides a briefing on yet another Counter-Terrorism bill, currently being considered by Parliament.

The government is planning yet more ‘anti-terrorism’ measures, which will go to Parliament in a new bill in October. Like previous anti-terrorism laws beginning with the Terrorism Act 2000, the Counter-Terrorism Bill 2007 uses an excessively broad definition of terrorism; this criminalises many normal political activities, potentially on the basis of suspected ‘association’. CAMPACC (the Campaign Against Criminalising Communities) reports on a new campaign.
