New study highlights discrimination in use of anti-terror laws / IRR, Sep 2004

IRR: New study highlights discrimination in use of anti-terror laws: "The Institute of Race Relations publishes today a catalogue that details how hundreds of Muslims have been arrested under terrorism powers before being released without charge; how the special powers granted by parliament to tackle terrorism are being deployed in other spheres, such as in routine criminal investigations or in the policing of immigration; how the media have become 'embedded' in a process that leads to the stigmatisation of Muslims as terrorists."
