	CAIN: HMSO: Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisons) Act 1974
		"terrorism" means the use of violence for political ends, and includes any use of violence for the purpose of putting the public or any section of the public in fear.
		Any reference in a provision of this Act to a person's being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism shall be taken to include a reference to his being so concerned at any time before the coming into force of that provision.
		Proceedings for an offence under section 1, 2 or 3 of this Act shall not be instituted in England or Wales, or (for section 3) in Northern Ireland, except by or with the consent of the Attorney General.

	Encyclopedia: Prevention of Terrorism Act (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The first Act was enacted in 1974 following the IRA bombing campaigns of the early 1970s.
		The first three Acts all contained final date clauses beyond the annual renewal, 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.

	Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Act allows the Home Secretary to impose "control orders" on people he suspects of involvement in terrorism, which in some cases may derogate (opt out) from human rights laws.
		Despite having passed permanent counter-terrorism legislation only a year earlier, in the shape of the Terrorism Act 2000, the British government's response to the September 11, 2001 attacks was to rush through emergency legislation to increase powers to deal with individuals suspected of planning or assisting terrorist attacks within the UK.
		A key feature of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 was that resident foreigners suspected of terrorism could be interned without trial, if they could not be deported to another country without breaching British human rights legislation (for example, if they might be subject to torture or the death penalty in their native country).

		The Terrorism Act 2000 reforms and extends previous counter-terrorist legislation, and puts it largely on a permanent basis.
		Under the Terrorism Act 2000, measures are applicable to all forms of terrorism.
		The Act deals with the proscription of terrorist groups throughout the UK, the appeals process by which a proscription order may be challenged, offences relating to terrorist property (both property to be used for terrorism and the proceeds of acts of terrorism) and police counter-terrorist powers.

		Where a person has been detained under the PTA, the Embassy can and does help his or her family in ascertaining where the person is being held, whether the detention order has been extended or [662] whether charges are being brought.
		The Embassy acts in PTA detention cases at the request of families, legal counsel, or public representatives or where the Embassy is otherwise aware that there are grounds for concern.
		I am conscious that the possibility of abuse of powers and of discrimination against Irish citizens is inherent in the PTA legislation and, in consequence, I make representations concerning the scope and method of operation of the Act to members of the British Government on a regular and ongoing basis.

	Prevention Of Terrorism Act (POTA) Repeal Ordinance - Myth And Reality by Rajindar Sachar
		A large number of objectionable features of POTA have been retained by the not so clever exercise of amendments made in Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 Ordinance 2004.
		The definition of unlawful activity is common to both 1967 Act and the Amendment Ordinance to mean an association which either by words spoken or otherwise acts so as to disrupt the sovereignty and integrity of India.
		Even the Supreme Court has accepted in PUCL case challenging POTA that keeping secret the identity of witness is a deviation from the usual mode of trial - but still Amendment Ordinance retains this provision thus denying fair trial to the accused, the very accusation made against the provision in POTA by the UPA Constituents.

		The bill does nothing to correct an overbroad definition of “domestic terrorism” that covers some direct action protest tactics, such as blocking traffic, trespassing on private property, or other civil disobedience that is regarded as “dangerous to human life” and is motivated by a desire to influence government policy.
		Although the House Judiciary Committee’s base bill does not expand the Patriot Act in the unwise and unwarranted way the Senate Intelligence Committee proposed, it can and must be modified to ensure that Patriot powers are focused on terrorists, and not ordinary Americans whose civil liberties must be protected to preserve our American values.
