## Convictions And Acquittals In Regards To Section 2 Of The Terrorism Act 2006

 Request I am currently studying a master in law at Queens University Belfast. This requires the submission of a 20,000 word dissertation, and my topic involves an analysis of section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006. I therefore wish to request as much information as possible on prosecutions under this section, both convictions and acquittals. I would like to analyse the publications which triggered prosecution, their content and why they were considered to be contrary to s2. I am particularly interested in cases from the past five years, but any information on cases from 2006 onwards will be useful for my analysis. Response The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) holds information relating to cases involving offences charged by way of S2 of the Terrorism Act 2006 in which a prosecution commenced from 2009, prior to this, data is not held. Please refer to the attached table. Information Management Unit 020 3357 0899
