Terrorism Law Named after Turkish Teen Receives Royal Approval

The Terrorism Law named after the Turkish teen Martyn Hakan Hett, who lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, has been officially approved with the consent of the UK’s King Charles II. The new law will require stringent security measures against terrorism at crowded events.
The Terrorism Law proposal named after the Turkish teen Martyn Hakan Hett, who lost his life in the Manchester Arena attack in 2017, has received Royal approval in the UK.
The bill, which aims to make events in the UK more secure against possible terrorist attacks, was named after the Turkish teen Martyn Hakan Hett who lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack.
Martyn Hett’s mother, Figen Murray, contributed to the bill, and the Terrorism (Facilities Protection) Law was approved by the UK’s King Charles II. The law, known as the “Martyn Law,” is expected to have a minimum implementation period of at least 24 months before coming into effect.
The law mandates that those responsible for certain facilities and events must be prepared for a terrorist attack. It also requires security planning to reduce vulnerability to terrorist attacks at specific large venues and events. The law aims to enable rapid responses to terrorist attacks at qualified facilities and events.
According to the law, security planning against the possibility of a terrorist attack will be mandatory at events with a minimum of 200 attendees. However, for events with 800 or more people, necessary measures such as ensuring venue security and conducting upper and vehicle searches will be implemented.
