• La justice court-circuitée : Les lois et procédures antiterroristes en France

  7 juillet 2008, par Human Rights Watch
  Depuis le milieu des années 1980, époque où elle a subi une vague d’attentats terroristes, la France a mis au point une approche préventive de justice pénale pour contrer le terrorisme que beaucoup de responsables français considèrent comme un modèle digne de susciter l’émulation ailleurs. L’approche française se caractérise par des poursuites judiciaires agressives à l’encontre de réseaux terroristes présumés opérant sur le territoire français. Elle repose sur une étroite collaboration entre les procureurs et juges d’instruction spécialisés d’une part et les services de police et de renseignement d’autre part, conjuguée à des restrictions aux garanties procédurales appliquées aux infractions de droit commun.
