Scotland Against Criminalising Communities

with Richard Haley, 8 December 2019 Richard Haley is a founding member and leading activist in Scotland Against Criminalising Communities (SACC). SACC campaigns against laws and policies whose effect is to criminalise political and community activity. They are particularly concerned about the extensive powers of this kind contained in Britain's anti-terrorism laws, unjust and racist laws shaped by foreign policy and built on a dangerously broad definition of "terrorism." Acts of terrorist violence are best prosecuted under the ordinary criminal law. Terrorism in the UK can only be prevented by ending the UK's involvement in aggressive wars and its support for oppressive regimes.
