In the wake of terrorist attacks in the UK over several years, the government has made certain changes to terrorism law. While these changes are intended to make the UK safer, they may also have an impact on your personal security, or, you may find yourself on the receiving end of an accusation of terrorism. In this article, we will take a look at the latest changes and what they mean for you.

At ABV Solicitors, we have worked extensively to defend those accused of terrorism, and our criminal solicitor will always ensure that when you come to us, your rights are defended. We know how stigmatizing the law is relating to terrorism, and will work to get a fair outcome for you.

So, what are the latest changes to terrorism law in the UK? Here, our criminal solicitor provides a brief guide.

The first change is that the government has introduced a new offence of ‘glorifying terrorism’. This means that you can now be convicted of a criminal offence for publishing material that praises or celebrates terrorist acts. The government has said that this change is needed to crack down on terrorist propaganda. If you have been accused of glorifying terrorism by the police, you will need to contact our criminal solicitor for advice.

The second change is that the government has made it easier to prosecute people who have travelled to Syria or Iraq to fight for ISIS. Previously, it was only possible to prosecute someone if they had returned to the UK. But now, it is possible to prosecute them even if they are still in Syria or Iraq. This change has been criticised by human rights groups, who argue that it could lead to innocent people being convicted of terrorism offences.

The government has introduced new powers to restrict the movements of people who are suspected of being involved in terrorism. These powers can be used if the police think that someone is planning to travel abroad to join a terrorist group. The person affected by these powers will be banned from travelling abroad and may be placed under surveillance

The government has made it easier for the police to seize passports from people who are suspected of being involved in terrorism. This change has been criticised by human rights groups, who argue that it could lead to innocent people being deprived of their liberty.

And finally, the government has introduced new rules about how schools should deal with extremism and radicalisation. These rules say that schools should take steps to protect children from radicalisation, and should report any signs of extremism or radicalisation to the authorities. Schools have been criticised for overreacting to these rules, and some parents have argued that they amount to snooping on their children’s lives.

So, if you or a member of your family have been involved in any of the aforementioned activities relating to terrorism, then you will need to seek help from our dedicated team at ABV Solicitors.
