Terrorism Charges

Terrorism has a very wide meaning in law. Terrorism can be the use or threat of action involving violence against a person, serious damage to property, endangering a person’s life or creating a serious risk to the safety of others. It must be designed to influence the government or to intimidate the public. A terrorist is anyone who is concerned with instigating, preparing or committing acts of terrorism. In addition offences such as money laundering, public disorder can also be considered as activity related to terrorism.

Hussain Solicitors have a successful history of defending individuals wrongly accused of terrorist activity. We have represented people wrongly suspected of being involved in terrorist activities and have assisted people in a number of recent high profile cases in England and Wales.

The United Kingdom government has introduced extensive and draconian laws in recent years of a complex nature varying from detention at police stations for up to 28 days and control orders. Terrorism laws are complex and it is absolutely essential that any lawyer representing a suspect is fully aware of police procedures and Court processes, under the Terrorism Acts. Hussain Solicitors have a proven track record in dealing with such complex cases.

Protecting the country and the public against terrorism is of paramount importance. On the other hand the law must only punish those who have been convicted of an offence after a fair trial. Likewise the police and other investigatiing agencies must also follow the law in their carrying out their duties. The need to protect the public from terrorism must be balanced against individual person’s human rights including the right to a fair trial, freedom of speech and freedom of association and religon.

Evidence in a terrorism case is often very different in its nature when compared to a normal criminal case. Evidence of terrorism often comes from covert sources such as secret recordings and surveillance. A person charged with a criminal or terrorism offence is entitled to know what is being alleged against him or her so that they can properly defend their position The importance of protecting a person’s rights is ensured by the Human Rights Act 1998.
