Due to the recent increase of terrorist attacks worldwide, such as the night club assassination in the U.S. state of Florida and the Truck-stop in the French nice, need to be re-traded, said the conservative head of government. People who would be classified after their sentence is still “unacceptable risk to the community”, would have to remain in prison. This is the case in Australia already for a sex offender and in some States, even for extremely violent people.

Restricted Freedom Of Movement

According to Tunbull, the government also plans to provide also a 14-year-old “attacker” under strict control. “Unfortunately, children are involved in terrorist activities,” he said. The minimum age is 16 years. In Gefährdern the freedom of movement and communication can be restricted to prevent attacks.
