• Terrorism Act 2000.
• The Terrorism Act 2000 replaced the "temporary" Prevention of Terrorism Act with a new permanent set of rules. It set out to define terrorism and gives police massive powers to deal with it.
• The biggest problem with the 2000 Act was that it defined "terrorism" in a very broad way. Basically terrorism is defined as action or the mere threat of action that is made for advancing a cause, that attempts to influence the government and that falls into one of several categories including serious damage to property or disruption of an electronic system.
• The Terrorism 2000 Act makes them terrorists.
• The Act also makes it an offence to collect information possibly of use to terrorists without a "reasonable excuse". ...
• The most blatant abuse of the Terrorism powers was suppression of anti-war protests.
• The most recent example of abuse of power was in September 2003 when police used the Terrorism Act against protestors at the Defence Systems and Equipment International arms fair. ...
• Update 31/10/2003: The High Court has supported the use of these powers against the DSEI protestors, underlining the danger of this Act.

Included in the Act are 'Serious Violence against property' for an ideological cause, 'seriously disrupting an electronic system' and belonging or professing to belong to a banned organisation. This Act appears to conflict with the European convention of Human Rights Act which came into force on the 2nd October 2000. ...

• The redefined Terrorism Act targets environmental activists as well as armed extremists and reverses the burden of proof, says Richard Norton-Taylor.
• As John Wadham, director of Liberty, the civil rights group, has pointed out, under the new Terrorism Act, protesters and activists, with no interest in overthrowing the state or harming the general public, could find themselves falling under the Act's expanded definition of terrorism. ...
• Under the Act it is a criminal offence to possess any "article" or "information", including photographs, in circumstances which give rise to a "reasonable suspicion" they would be used for "terrorist" purposes - a clause which has serious implications, not least for journalists.
• The Act reverses the burden of proof - it will be up to the accused to prove their innocence, in other words, to prove a negative. ...
• The definition of terrorism in the bill includes "the use or threat, for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, or ideological cause, of action which involves serious violence against any person or property". ...
• For the first time, the term "terrorism" will apply to domestic groups which can be proscribed by the home secretary. It will be an offence to "provide money or other property" which may be used "for the purposes of terrorism" and not tell the police when you suspect others of doing so. ...
• The Act also introduces a criminal offence of "incitement" - an offence which could catch, for example, anyone calling for the overthrow of undemocratic regimes abroad. ...
• The Act gives the police an array of sweeping new powers and in effect sets up a parallel criminal justice system wide open to abuse and far beyond the provisions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. It gives them stop and search powers on the basis of "expediency" and of "suspicion", not of committing any offence, but of being connected, or potentially connected, to the bill's vague description of "terrorism". ...
• The Act, says Wadham, "creates a two-tier system - in which people suspected of a criminal act for moral or political reasons will have less rights than someone who commits a similar crime for reasons of lust, greed or viciousness".
• By concentrating on motivation, it includes activity which the vast majority of the public would not regard as terrorism, while excluding gangs of racketeers or drug-runners, for example, engaged in serious criminal activities. ...

• The Terrorism Act 2000 replaced the previous Prevention of Terrorism Acts in February 2001 but the new law contains some of the previous provisions as well as some new powers. The Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (ATCSA) was enacted following the events in America on September 11th and parts of it came into force in December 2001. ATCSA amended and extended the Terrorism Act but also had new provisions so both laws remain in place.
• A person can be arrested on suspicion of involvement in terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000 and taken to a police station for questioning. ... The Terrorism Act also provides the police with greater powers to take fingerprints, DNA samples and other means of identification than those arrested under the ordinary criminal law.
• Although you do not have an absolute right to see a solicitor under the Terrorism Act it is very likely that if you are detained under this Act in England or Wales the police will let you see one. ...
• Arrests under the Terrorism Act are rare and many solicitors will not have experience of such cases but it is important to take advice in the police station from a solicitor even if he or she is not any expert. ...
• In general if a person is charged and prosecuted for being involved in terrorism they will be prosecuted for a specific criminal offence and be subject to the same system of criminal law as any other person. ...
• The ACTSA allowed the Home Secretary a new power to detain people indefinitely without trial if the person is suspected of involvement in terrorism. ...

• Computer hacking comes under government scrutiny with new terrorism act .
• The Terrorism Act 2000 is designed to prevent dissident political groups from using the UK as a base for terrorism and recognises a new threat from cyberterrorists for the first time.
• But the Act also significantly widens the definition of terrorism to include those actions that "seriously interfere with or seriously disrupt an electronic system". According to the Act this only applies to actions "designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public", but it will be up to police investigators to decide when this is the case. The Act gives police the power to detain suspects for 48-hours without a warrant.
• Alex Gordon, a partner with London law firm Berwin Leyton and a specialist in information technology law, said the act gives police significant new powers over computer criminals. "The Act does catch serious computer hacking," he said.
• Gordon said it is unlikely that the act could be used to target all computer hackers. ...
• UK ISP GreenNet, which hosts a variety of Web sites belonging to political activists and campaigners, could be affected by the Act. GreenNet consultant and online activist Paul Mobbs, who has coordinated protests through his site, Electrohippies, says that the Act may result in Internet campaigns being controlled.
• "If a group did an email campaign to the prime minister and that disrupted an email system that could be defined as terrorism. ...
• Mobbs believes that the Act could even be used by a authoritarian government to stop legitimate political activism.
• Mobbs courted controversy in March 2000 when he created a point-and-click method of attacking the World Trade Organisation's Web sites as part of global protests against capitalism.
• The government has broadened the definition of terrorism to include computer-related activity because it is concerned that militant groups are increasingly turning to computer hacking techniques. ...
• Home secretary Jack Straw has signalled that he intends to clamp down on those exploiting computers and the Internet to perpetrate terrorist activity under the new Act.
• "With the implementation of the Terrorism Act 2000, the UK is making a very firm statement of our intent to combat terrorism, with every legitimate means at our disposal, whenever and wherever it occurs. ...

• In reaching his decision, the Home Secretary took into account a number of factors including: the nature and scale of an organization's activities, the specific threat that it poses to the UK, the specific threat that it poses to British nationals overseas, the extent of the organization's presence in the UK, and the need to support other members of the international community in the global fight against terrorism. Specific offence relating to membership, support for and funding of a proscribed organization are including in the Act. ...

• Prevention of Terrorism Act.
• The Prevention of Terrorism Acts were a series of Acts of Parliament in the United Kingdom from 1974, which conferred emergency powers upon police forces where they suspected terrorism.
• In 2000 it was repealed and replaced with the more permanent Terrorism Act 2000.
• The Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 had seven parts:.
• Exclusion Orders could be issued "as expedient" to prevent terrorism relating to Northern Ireland. ...
• Financial Assistance for Terrorism. As well as the provision under the first part of the Act, contributing, receiving or soliciting financial support for terrorism was an offence under this part also. ...
• This part allowed for the arrest of individuals without a warrant and on reasonable suspicion that they were guilty of an offence under the act or otherwise "concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. ... This part also allowed for streamlined search procedures of persons or property and checks under the act on persons at port or other border controls.
• The remaining parts of the act (Information, Proceedings and Interpretation, Further Provisions for Northern Ireland, and Supplementary) are largely technical although the Northern Ireland provions extends the right to search property, restricts remission for those convicted of statutory offences, and tightens control over the granting of licenses under the Explosives Act 1875 (new explosives factories and magazines).
• The first Act was enacted in 1974 following the IRA bombing campaigns of the early 1970s. The act was introduced by Roy Jenkins, then Home Secretary, as a severe and emergency reaction to the IRA threat. ...
• The first three acts all contained final date clauses beyond the annual renwal, this provision was not included in the 1989 act. The inclusion of the "Temporary Provisions" statement in the act is somewhat disingenuous, much of the initial act's legislation has passed into permanent law and the annual renewal of the act was never a threat to its existence.

• Begin quote- Government definition of terrorism applies to firefighters 24/10/2002 The threat of industrial action has turned the UK’s firefighters into terrorists, as defined in the Government’s Terrorism Act. Furthermore, all the firefighters’ phone calls and other communications can be intercepted and accessed by Tony Blair’s Cobra committee under provisions of the controversial Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, better known as RIPA. The Terrorism Act of 2000 defines terrorism as including the use or threat of action designed to influence the government and made for the purpose of advancing a political cause. ... " RIPA and Cobra Under RIPA, interception of communications, such as letters, e-mail and phone calls, can be carried out in the interests of “national security” - which covers terrorism as defined - and access to the intercepted data can be justified in the interest of public safety or to protect public health - again, these interests are jeopardised by the current action. ... " He concluded: "Most people support the fight against terrorism - but to enact legislation which brands firefighters as terrorists and which could subject them to the weight of state interference which is normally reserved for the mafia or Al-Qaeda will only serve to undermine public trust in the draconian powers which the Government has assumed in the fight against terrorism. " The Terrorism Act 2000 is available at: www. ...
• The danger is that the word 'terrorism' defined by the state serves the ends of the state. A legal understanding of the word need not cleave to a dictionary definition, nor a strategic definition evaluation of what is war and what is terrorism. ...
• A couple of thoughts, advanced with a degree of hesitation, not least because Chris Pounder and Leolin Price QC came to their conclusions no doubt after having read and analysed the entirety of the Terrorism Act 2002 and other legislation and case law, whereas I have only flicked through the interpretation section of the Act, and read what you have quoted from the Out-Law article. To be deemed "terrorism" under the Act it seems that the dispute must be the use or threat of action that is designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political cause, and that it involves serious damage to property, endangers a person's life, other than that of the person committing the action, or creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public. Loose and vague stuff for sure, which would mean that a court faced with implementing any application from an interested party under the Act would have to consider, amongst other things, the intention of parliament. ... Nothing in the Act (just flicking through the index of its sections and schedules) suggests that those taking industrial action might be in the frame, so it would be interesting to see how the Act came to be formulated as it did. ... Pounder and Price are right to consider the possibility of a challenge to the strike under the Terrorism Act, but between the 2 of them I believe they could get such a challenge laughed out of court. ...

• UK Terrorism Act 2000.
• New definition of "terrorism" can criminalise dissent and extra-parliamentary action.
• After years of parliamentary opposition to the renewal of the Prevention of Terrorism Act, Labour in government has produced a new anti-terrorist law which is not only permanent but also broader in its scope and application than previous "emergency" and "temporary" legislation. The Terrorism Act 2000 received royal assent on 20 July and provisions relating to Northern Ireland came into immediate effect. The remainder of the Act will be implemented in early 2001.
• The process began six years ago when the then Conservative government set up an "Inquiry into Legislation Against Terrorism", chaired by Lord Lloyd of Berwick. ... The Lloyd Report came up with a new legal definition of "terrorism" and considered a range of new and existing powers to form the basis of any future legislation. ... The Human Rights Act continues the derogation.
• The next step was the publication of a joint Northern Ireland Office/Home Office document - Legislation Against Terrorism. ... The government's intention was to modernise counter-terrorist powers, to make them permanent and to "maximise the appropriateness and effectiveness of the UK's response to all forms of terrorism" including "new forms of terrorism which may develop in the future". In other words, the new provisions were to cover "international", "domestic" and "Irish" terrorism. ...
• The consultation period, as well as subsequent parliamentary debates on the Terrorism Bill, generated much discussion around the proposed legislation's compatibility with the Human Rights Act 1998 (incorporating the European Convention into UK law). Some of the argument went further, challenging both the need and desirability of legislation which would expand the type of actions and threats defined as "terrorism", thereby widening the criminalisation of expressions of support for international and internal groups. Notwithstanding government assurances that no domestic groups are likely to be proscribed under present circumstances (aside from those relating to "Irish terrorism") there is, nevertheless, widespread concern among campaigning groups that any extra-parliamentary activity may come within the scope of new legislation. ...
• Much of the legal argument surrounding the passage of the Terrorism Act focused on the definition of "terrorism". Section 1 of the Act elaborates the meaning of "terrorism" over five subsections. "Terrorism" can mean the threat of, as well as the use of, an action. ... The purpose of the action or threat is important for the definition of terrorism. ... "Terrorism" is also defined by the weaponry involved, whether or not it is designed to be used to influence government or the public. Firearms and explosives deployed in any of the actions in S1(2) means that "terrorism" is involved.

• uk/terrorism/index. htm and you will find your way to the Terrorism Act 2000. The Act itself proceeded through Parliament with all party support; received its Royal Assent last July and came into force on 19 February 2001. From its introduction in December 1999 to its swift enforcement, the act was de facto restricted to a wider debate. Traditionally, cracking down on terrorism in the UK was based and derived from everyday laws. The Terrorism Act changes this by firstly defining terrorism ('applicable to all types of terrorism'), then deriving procedures and finally enacting a policy. Criticisms however, are based on the very definition of what constitutes 'terrorism'.
• The procedural problems are augmented in that, besides the courts, the act's enforcement will first rely on the police. The paper understands 'terrorism' as the use of or threat of action where -- 'the use or threat is designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public or a section of the public; and the use of threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological goal'. ...
• This is just one of the many possible scenarios but by including a wide range of issues within a 'wide' set of interpretations, the Terrorism Act 2000 facilitates, thus enabling, a 'legal' clamping-down of the very forces that constitute a true and healthy democracy.

The Terrorism Act doesn't add anything new to the already existing legal provisions against terrorism, present in Yugoslav Criminal Code since 1973, when the country signed the UN Resolution against international terrorism and adapted its laws to it. Instead, this Act will severely endanger the already frail human and legal rights of suspect, detained, indicted and convicted persons. According to most lawyers and professors of law, the Act is un-constitutional and in colision with the existing Criminal Code and Criminal Procedures Code, as well as with many international conventions and pacts signed by the Yugoslav state. ... The draft of the Act avoids carefully any precise definition of its key terms, like 'terrorism', 'conspiracy', 'support', 'hostile intention' etc. ... Special attention is given to non-violent aspects of 'terrorism': distribution and even possession of 'terrorist propaganda' in all forms - written, pictorial, electronic - is punisheable by three to twelve years of prison; 'enticing to distribute, to keep for distribution or to make available means of distribution' of propaganda carriers will be punished by 10 - 20 years.
