The Terrorism Act 2006 powers has come into force today.
The Terrorism Act 2006 allows groups or organisations to be banned for those offences and covers anyone who gives or receives training.
The act designates nuclear sites as areas where trespass can become a terrorist offence.
Human rights campaigners argue the law is drawn far too widely and it faced stiff opposition in the House of Lords.
Via SpyBlog, which notes “that one of the most controversial parts of the Act has not commenced today, i.e. Section 23 Extension of period of detention of terrorist suspects to Section 25
which extends the period of “pre-charge detention” from 14 days to 28 days has not been commenced i.e. has not yet been brought into law ?”
