Terrorism
Defending Terrorism Charges
There are numerous offences under counter terrorism legislation, but broadly speaking the threat, or use of violence or certain other actions for the purpose of advancing a cause (whether this is religious, political or ideological) can lead to a charge of terrorism.
It is possible to be convicted of a terrorism offence even if you did not carry out the act; any involvement in a terrorist act, including the research and planning stages may be considered a crime. Anti-terrorism law is a particularly complex area and being accused of, or charged with, a terrorism offence is a very serious matter with severe penalties involving long custodial sentences.
Alexander Bennett Solicitors has been practising in this area of law for many years and we are extremely skilled in defending clients who are facing such allegations. We have extensive knowledge of TACT, Schedule 7 and PACE Code H, which grant distinct powers and codes of practice to Police, as well as identifying protocols for detention, interviews, questioning, treatment and entitlements for those detained under the legislation. We are proud to be expert practitioners in this area, with a broad knowledge of the detail, which differs substantially from that which applies to other offences.
If you or someone you know is accused of a terrorism offence, it is vital that you speak to a law firm with our specialist knowledge of the key legislation, in order to safeguard your legal rights and ensure the most effective defence. We will offer immediate advice and representation, ensuring that you receive appropriate and fair treatment throughout the process.
I am really happy with the service. Good advice and friendly. They keep me updated with what’s going on in my case.
