Rights group says Europe’s anti-terror powers pose danger

PARIS / AP

Amnesty International says European counterterrorism measures in the past two years are rapidly — and potentially permanently — eroding basic human rights throughout the continent.
France, which has been hit with more recent deadly attacks than any other country in Europe, has extended its state of emergency three times, and the human rights group said in its report on Tuesday that the measures passed in the wake of the November 13, 2015, attacks in Paris risk becoming permanent.
