French lawmakers adopt anti-terror bill 'at expense of' civil liberties
2017-10-04
[Iran Press TV] The French parliament has overwhelmingly adopted a new controversial counterterrorism bill, which will boost police surveillance powers and make it easier to close religious centers, as the European country is under a nearly two-year-old state of emergency.

Legislators in La Belle France’s lower house of parliament on Tuesday approved the bill by 415 votes to 127, with 19 abstentions, two days after a suspected member of the ISIS Takfiri

the French left and right groups strongly criticized the law, arguing it would lead to the infringement of civil freedoms.

"Lawmakers realize that today’s threat is serious and that we must protect ourselves against terrorists. This must be done in a way that balances security and freedom," Interior Minister Gerard Collomb told news hounds after the vote, adding, "This text will help protect French people."

He also described La Belle France as being "still in a state of war" as authorities struggle to eliminate the threat posed by foreign bully boyz and home-grown bully boys. Collomb called the anti-terror bill a "lasting response to a lasting threat."

Another reason the new class loves Muslims so much?
