Eskkyan Protection Against Extremism Act passes National Congress
Thursday 12 Dein 1597 CE
The Eskkyan Protection Against Extremism Act passed the National Congress 448 votes to 382 votes today. The act would have the impact of updating the law to expand anti-extremism powers. An Anti-Extremism Agency or the AEA will be founded if the act passes the next stage where it is highly likely to pass due to three main backing parties having 46 out of 51 seats. The Agency would have the powers of monitoring any organisation, religion or charities in the country through monitoring and undercover investigations. The Agency would then be able to list the organisations or even entire religious faiths if they meet the criteria of extremism according to the BITE model. They would be especially harsh on organisations that encourage hate such as homophobia, misogyny or trans-phobia. The act is understood to be designed in order to rid Eskkya of extremist organisations and the AEA once an organisation is listed would be able to monitor even individuals who are known to be parts of these organisations, ban donations or any funding going to these organisations and restrictions on running for office of extremists on grounds of security. Organisations with links to terror would automatically be listed and prosecuted under the law.Penalties would go up to banning of extremist organisations.
Another section of the law would allow cancelling of citizenship of any citizen connected with terror groups or groups with links to terror groups at home or overseas. The law would require cancellation of citizenship if there is another citizenship or if they are within the 5 years provisional citizenship under law. The law would also allow extra immigration checks to be conducted on countries where there is a culture or history of homophobia, sexism, misogyny , trans-phobia or extremism though stops short of a ban that was favoured by Party of Tradition and the CN. The act would also allow kicking out of immigrants if it can prove links to any listed organisations. Though critics say that this act is an attempt to stoke fears and take advantage of anti-akhadic sentiment the government point out they would treat all extremist religions and organisations equally and that all religions would be expected not to use politics to restrict peoples rights based on gender, sexuality or ethnicity.
The act was passed through the lower house with The Alternative supporting it 180 to 81, PoT 48 to 4, CN 193 to 1 with Clan Socialist Party supporting it 11 to 9 and CNP 12 to 0. The DA, CPP , and all left wing parties with the exception of the CSP opposed the act.The Act is expected to pass within 2 months with possibilities it could pass within a month. It is expected the AEA will be formed within a year and listing could occur as early as 1598.
