Must Read – ‘British Anti-Terrorism: A Modern Day Witch-hunt’, new report by IHRC
Fahad Ansari revisits Britain\’s anti-terrorism policies a year after his report, \’Terror in the Name of Anti-Terrorism\’.
From Control Orders, proposals to ban HizbutTahrir and other Muslim organisations, new legislation and police powers, this report covers the gamut of the British government\’s latest anti-terrorism proposals.
This clear analysis not only makes the case that the government\’s anti-terrorist strategy violates basic human rights and curtails civil liberties, it powerfully argues, that it is also counter-productive.
Using case studies, Ansari relates in graphic detail how these proposals single out Muslims and the Muslim communities in Britain, equating it with a latter day witch-hunt.
A must read for all those concerned with the British government\’s new measures.
‘British Anti-Terrorism: A Modern Day Witch-hunt’, by Fahad Ansari, 102pp, ISBN: 1-903718-36-8 can be downloaded as a PDF file without charge from:
