The Terror Law named after Turkish victim Martyn Hakan Hett, who lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack, has been officially approved by UK’s King Charles II. The new law will mandate strict security measures against terrorism at crowded events.

The Terror Law bill named after Turkish victim Martyn Hakan Hett, who lost his life in the Manchester Arena attack, has received Royal approval in the UK.

The bill, which aims to enhance the security of events against potential terrorist attacks in the UK, was named after Turkish victim Martyn Hakan Hett, who lost his life in the 2017 Manchester Arena attack.

Contributed by Hett’s mother Figen Murray, the Terror Law bill was approved by UK’s King Charles II. The Terror (Protection of Facilities) Law, known as the “Martyn Law,” has received royal approval, and it is expected to have a minimum of a 24-month implementation period before it comes into effect.

The law will require those responsible for certain facilities and events to be prepared for a terrorist attack. Additionally, it mandates security planning to reduce vulnerability to terrorist attacks at specific large facilities and events. The goal of the law is to ensure a rapid response to a terrorist attack at qualified facilities and events.

According to the law, security planning for the possibility of a terrorist attack will be required at events with a minimum of 200 attendees. However, for events where 800 or more people gather, necessary measures such as venue security and searches of both individuals and vehicles will be implemented.
