The Prevention of Terrorism Act

The Prevention of Terrorism Act is a law designed to counteract acts of terrorism by granting authorities special powers to prevent, investigate, and respond to threats or attacks. It allows law enforcement to arrest suspects without a traditional warrant, detain individuals for extended periods, and restrict activities linked to terrorism. The act aims to enhance national security while balancing individual rights, but it also requires oversight to prevent misuse. Overall, it provides a legal framework to swiftly address terrorism-related issues and protect citizens from harm.
