Terror of a Bill

The Anti-Terrorism Bill set to be signed by DU30 anytime now is instead sowing what it is supposed to prevent.  What it lacks, aside from the constitutional safeguards, is the provision for deradicalization.

Former ARRM leader Hataman from Basilan says that the Bill we copied from other countries like Malaysia leaves out this essential element of converting the mindset of supposed terrorists while in jail. Otherwise, as what had happened, the terrorists converted their jailers. Or they really do not aim to jail terrorists but only political opponents.
