Offences Against the State

Offences Against the State refer to illegal acts that threaten a country's security, stability, or government. These include crimes like treason, espionage, rebellion, or attempts to undermine authority. Such offences typically involve actions aimed at overthrowing or destabilizing the government, spying for foreign powers, or participating in violent protests against state institutions. Laws categorizing these offences aim to protect sovereignty and prevent chaos. They are often treated as serious crimes, with strict penalties, because they compromise national security and public order.
