Amnesty International concern at terror suspects’ treatment

Amnesty has raised concerns at Ireland’s actions against national security suspects in a hard-hitting report on counter-terrorism measures taken by EU countries.

The report, Dangerously disproportionate: The ever-expanding national security state in Europe, claims “draconian powers” have been rushed through, discriminating against Muslims and refugees and “undermining fundamental freedoms”.

In a section on Ireland, it highlights two deportation cases against people, because of their alleged links to terror groups and the alleged threat they posed.
