UK journalists and NGOs risk terrorism prosecutions under new security bill
The UK's National Security (State Threats) Bill, currently in parliament, could criminalize journalists and NGO workers who engage with groups designated as threats by the Home Secretary. Security experts warn the legislation grants broad discretionary powers that may chill legitimate reporting and humanitarian work on sensitive geopolitical issues.
Why it matters: UK-based journalists, international NGOs, and news organizations face legal exposure when covering designated state-backed groups; practitioners should monitor the bill's final passage and any guidance on lawful newsgathering and aid work.
