______ Extends Emergency Laws
Can you fill in the blank?
______ “has extended controversial emergency laws giving the security forces broad powers to arrest and detain people without charge. Parliament agreed another two years of the legislation on Sunday. ”
“But opposition groups said the law failed to combat terrorism and was used to violate the rights of [citizens].”
“Many opposition MPs came to the parliament session wearing white and black sashes saying “No to the emergency law”.”
“The government is drafting anti-terror laws to replace the emergency law, which had been due to lapse at the beginning of January.”
“[The Prime Minister] said the government would not use the legislation other than to protect “the citizen and the security of the nation and to combat terrorism”.
I’ll give you a hint… it’s a country.
Where is it? Europe? North America? Africa?
Give up?
Isn’t it wonderful how freedom and human rights are sweeping the Globe?
