The UK's “anti-terror” laws have been repeatedly used against protesters and dissidents, revealing that government as repressive.

A British columnist's British sister was just bullied into testifying against herself and everyone she knows, on pain of imprisonment.

The conviction of human rights activist Muhammad Rabbani of Cage, who heroically faced imprisonment by refusing to tell the thugs anything, does not seem to have raised a big scandal.

Maybe this instance will create the scandal needed to end this repressive practice in Britain.

Although terrorism does exist in the UK, in the long term it is less of a danger to Britons than repressive, unjust laws such as this one.
