Poland to adopt an anti-terrorism law

On March 24, Mariusz Błaszczak, Polish Minister of the Interior and Administration, has officially announced that inter-team adopted a working version of the anti-terror act. "The bill will be presented to the government at the beginning of April, and I hope after the parliamentary debate. the law will be adopted in May 2016," Minister confirmed. The bill gives many rights to the Internal Security Agency (ABW), which is the main actor in anti-terrorism policy in Poland. Also it will regulate the cooperation between departments, clarifying the principle of the use of troops and weapons. The act permits the prohibition of assembly, when incorporated in the two highest levels of terrorist threat in the country. The project will also allow to arrest suspected terrorists even for 14 days (with the permission of the court). "Such a law is necessary, since services must operate smoothly at the time of the terrorist attack," supported Polish ex-Minister of Justice Marek Biernacki.
