UK's attempt to silence dissent

so widely drawn that anyone

who 'glorifies, exalts or celebrates' any terrorist act committed over

the past 20 years could face

a sentence of up to five years in prison.

 

" But the small print of the draft terrorism bill published yesterday

shows that the home secretary

is preparing to go even further and draw up a list of historical

terrorist acts which if 'glorified'

could mean a criminal offence being committed. "
