(Anadolu) Austria’s coalition government on Wednesday revised its controversial “anti-terror” law, using the phrase “religiously motivated extremism” instead of “political Islam.”
Following a cabinet meeting, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer, Justice Minister Alma Zadic and Integration Minister Susanne Raab announced a package of counter-terrorism measures a month after the country’s capital was hit by a terror attack.
Speaking during the press conference, Interior Minister Nehammer said a “terror record” would be created if lawmakers pass the new draft law.
The country’s existing 2014 “Symbol Act” will also be revised to include symbols of the racist “Identitarian Movement,” Nehammer added.
