Terror Laws: An Unhappy Compromise?

Current affairs. Phil Kemp asks if the Coalition's terror laws have struck the right balance between the civil liberties of suspects and public safety.

Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed's audacious escape from terror restrictions by removing his electronic tag and absconding from a west London mosque in a burka has brought the Coalition's terror laws into the spotlight.

Phil Kemp investigates Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures - or TPIMs - and asks if the civil liberties of suspects have been put ahead of public safety.
