indian response to “terror”
Canadian CBC News reports about concerns over the draft anti-terrorism bill that was introduced in India’s parliament following the attacks in Bombay. Doubling the amount of days of holding terror suspects without filing charges to 180, the bill is also criticised for providing police with a disproportionate leverage in conducting searches. According to the report the home minister sees an adequate balance between human rights protection and the instruments necessary to respond to the “terror.”
