As you can see from the fact that our last update was in 2009, AMCRAN has not been publicly active for some time. The laws, however, have continued to evolve and affect people in unintended ways. So over the last two years, we've been working with Muslim Legal Network NSW on a fourth edition of the "Anti-terrorism laws: ASIO, the Police and You" booklet, now available at their website.
We would like to thank the community (both Muslim and non-Muslim) for their support over the years of AMCRAN's operations. We're pleased that MLN NSW has taken on this important role in educating the community about their rights. |

"While we welcome the proposal to limit the period of detention without charge, we are concerned about other proposals that seek to broaden the current regime of anti-terrorism laws in a way which exacerbates its flaws," said Dr Zachariah Matthews from the Australian Muslim Civil Rights Advocacy Network (AMCRAN). |
