Revised proposal for terror law

06-10-2005 23:35

'Glorifying' terror plan revised - a victory for civil rights or part of the plan

A proposed new law which would have criminalised the "glorifying" of so-called terrorist activities has been revised following criticism. The revised proposal apparently means that somebody would have to "intend to incite" future terrorist acts in order to be convicted.

06-10-2005 17:41
