Adviser Cautions Against Tightening UK Terrorism Laws After Pro-Palestine Marches
- Adviser warns UK government not to tighten laws on glorifying terrorism after pro-Palestine marches
- Says there is no need to respond with new terrorism laws, would do "no favours" to police, MI5, or probation services
- Extending terrorism offenses unnecessarily would impose burdens on already stretched security services
- Broadening the offense should be ruled out, could infringe on right to free speech
- Existing laws precisely target those posing real danger; public should not be daunted from lawful protests
