King defends proposed anti-terror legislation
The Bahraini government said yesterday the proposed anti-terrorism law would not restrict public freedoms because the legislation is intended to protect society against "the dangers of alien terrorism." "I affirm to you that there will be no restrictions whatsoever on constitutional freedoms or democratic achievements," His Majesty King Hamad Bin Eisa Al Khalifa was quoted yesterday by the Bahrain News Agency, BNA, as saying during a meeting with senior lawmakers. "The proposed ant-terrorism law is intended only to protect the citizens and residents of Bahrain against the increasing dangers of alien terrorism and extremists ideologies," he said.Posted by: Fred 2005-04-14 |
