Libraries urge clarity on terrorism criteria

Article Abstract:

The Government's new Terrorism Bill could criminalise researchers and librarians unless amendments are made, libraries have warned. The legislation states that it would be an offence to buy, sell, distribute or lend terrorist publications, but library organisations have criticised the wording of the Bill, arguing that it is too ambiguous about what constitutes a terrorist publication and noting that something could be regarded as legal one week and then, in the light of subsequent events, be regarded as illegal, thereby leaving the library open to prosecution.
