Russia slams US anti-terror law

Russia sees the latest US anti-terror legislation as a violation of international law in general and provisions of the 1966 International Civil and Political Liberties Pact in particular. 
On December 31, 2011 President Barack Obama signed a Congress approved law that will allow terror suspects to be held indefinitely- even raising the prospects of US citizens being sent to Guantanamo Bay.
