High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 (c.2) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, intended to deal with the Law Lords' ruling of 16 December 2004 that the detention without trial of nine foreigners at HM Prison Belmarsh under Part 4 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 was unlawful, being incompatible with European (and, thus, domestic) human rights laws. The Act allows the Home Secretary to impose control orders on people who are suspected of involvement in terrorism, which in some cases may derogate (opt out) from human rights laws. As of yet, no derogating control orders have been obtained under s.4 of the relevant Act. In April 2006, a High Court judge issued a declaration that section 3 of the Act was incompatible with the right to a fair trial under article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The system of control orders was described by Mr Justice Sullivan as an 'affront to justice'.
