Since 9/11, the US has prosecuted for terrorism more than 500 individuals and added
1.5 million more to terror watch lists, according to a report by Human Rights Watch.
Titled "Illusion of Justice," the report chastises the government for racial profiling,
alienating minority communities and targeting those with mental disabilities. RT's
Lindsay France discusses the scathing assessment with Human Rights Watch's deputy
Washington director, Andrea Prasow.

‘UK anti-terrorism laws are so broadly drawn they are in danger of catching journalists,
bloggers, and those it was “never intended to cover” the counter-terrorism watchdog
has said.

David Anderson QC has called on the Government to revisit its definition of terrorism in
his annual report published today as the UK’s independent reviewer of terrorism
legislation.

The UK has some of the most extensive anti-terrorism laws in the western world,
Mr Anderson said, giving ministers the powers they need to combat violence
perpetrated by al-Qa’ida inspired terrorists, right-wing extremists and dissident
groups in Northern Ireland. They also enable prosecutions to be brought for
activities in other countries including Syria and Iraq.’

Government agents ‘directly involved’ in most high-profile US terror plots

Government agents 'directly involved' in most high-profile US terror plots

• Human Rights Watch documents 'sting' operations
• Report raises questions about post-9/11 civil rights

‘Nearly all of the highest-profile domestic terrorism plots in the United States since
9/11 featured the “direct involvement” of government agents or informants, a new
report says.

Some of the controversial “sting” operations “were proposed or led by informants”,
bordering on entrapment by law enforcement. Yet the courtroom obstacles to
proving entrapment are significant, one of the reasons the stings persist.

The lengthy report, released on Monday by Human Rights Watch, raises questions
about the US criminal justice system’s ability to respect civil rights and due process
in post-9/11 terrorism cases. It portrays a system that features not just the sting
operations but secret evidence, anonymous juries, extensive pretrial detentions and
convictions significantly removed from actual plots.’
