Turkey's Anti-Terror Law

Turkey's Anti-Terror Law is designed to prevent and penalize activities considered to support terrorism, such as organizing, financing, or spreading propaganda for terrorist groups. It grants authorities broad powers to arrest suspects and conduct investigations, often without immediate judicial oversight. Critics argue it can be used to suppress dissent and restrict freedoms, as definitions of terrorism are broad and sometimes interpreted flexibly. The law aims to maintain national security, but its application has raised concerns about potential overreach and impact on civil liberties.
