A new draft Anti-Terrorism Act pushed by the local agents of imperialism in its parliamentary right version was introduced last month in the House of Representatives. The project was agreed during the "4th Meeting of Struggle against Terrorism" held in Mexico in mid-July, and is signed by several members of far right as Oscar Aguad (UCR), Federico Pinedo (PRO) and Patricia Bullrich (Civic Coalition).
"If passed this law would be raising the whole definition of the Argentine penal code, hence the figures with which it pursues social protest, the category of international terrorist act, "said a statement from the meeting Memory, Truth and Justice, which is reproduced below.
A similar project has already been sanctioned by the Senate in late 2007 at the request of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) , an organization "intergovernmental" that responds to the IMF and World Bank is dedicated to "demand" to the peripheral countries such as Argentina the implementation of such laws to ensure "good business climate."
Laws of this kind exist in the vast majority of the world and especially in South America in order to get us under the guise of "law" people's organizations and their members, calling as "terrorist" act all high method of social protest. Currently, those who suffer most in this repressive legislation are our brothers Colombia, Peru and Chile, but was also applied to partners of our country as Roberto Martino.
"In a proposal that would involve a new escalation of the criminalization of social protest concerning the opposition have signed a draft law hardening repression in Argentina and doubles submission to U.S. foreign policy in continuity with open policy by the ruling party with the negative anti-terrorism laws in 2005 and 2007. This project comes as the culmination of the 4 th Meeting of Combat Terrorism, which met in Buenos Aires on 14 and 15 July. The event was provident and officially organized by the American Jewish Congress as an activity prior to the official ceremony of the 16 th anniversary of the AMIA bombing and participated as speakers Judge Garzon and fiscal Nisman.

PRESS MEETING MEMORY, TRUTH AND JUSTICE
another anniversary of the AMIA bombing, the top leaders of the opposition in the House of Representatives introduced a draft Terrorism Bill. Take firms Ricardo Gil Lavedra, Oscar Aguad, Federico Pinedo, Roy Cortina, Juan P. Tunessi, Juan C. Vega, Lydia Satragno, Elisa Carrio, Adrian Perez, Margarita Stolbizer, Ricardo Alfonsin, Patricia Bullrich and Philip Solá.Esta parliamentary initiative of great importance to all political organizations, labor, popular and human rights defenders.
With the passage of this law would allow a claim methodology as widespread as the roadblock to be classified as "terrorist act."
say that this project would involve a new escalation of the criminalization of social protest because, as we have denounced, today as figures are used most serious of the Penal Code to try to quell protests and claims: workers who take a factory are accused of illegal deprivation of liberty, delegates of workers in struggle are accused of coercion, workers to-face street gangs state are accused of damages and injuries. If passed this law would be raising all the Argentine penal code definition, therefore the figures with which it pursues social protest, to the category of international terrorist act.
In its Article 1 defines project tens of control measures used by our people daily, as terrorist acts. In his article 2 º the project, as it is done by the timely submission by the national government and approved by a majority of the blocks of Congress, advances in defining which organizations would be "terrorists." Any organization that carries out any protest actions defined in article 1, with the intention "to compel a government or an international organization to do an act, or refrain from doing so." In this way, as an example, is accused of a terrorist organization, an organization of state who claims that the government refrain from laying off workers or the unemployed who block highways to request course work or bodies human rights for years to claim and demand, such as the annulment of the infamous laws of Due Obedience and Full Stop.
The grounds of this bill clarifies that blatantly try to match the actions to be sentenced, with crimes against humanity committed by state terrorism. Then again, is to impose the theory of the two demons, who has been repudiated by the vast majority of our people. We say again that, before the government and the opposition now, use the AMIA bombing to justify repressive legislation sanctions, under the name of fighting terrorism, when the National Executive itself which guarantees the impunity of those responsible for denying the opening of secret intelligence files existing on the attack and divert the investigation according to U.S. interests and Israel. While
while maintaining Roberto Martino arrested, falsely accused of anti-Semitism, to be part of a demonstration condemning the state terrorism of Israel against the Palestinian people.
