A law on the prevention and repression of terrorism took effect on Tuesday,
the government of the Macao Special Administrative Region announced.
The 16-article law imposes prison sentences ranging between one and 20 years
on "the terror-related crimes," according to the Government Gazette.
Anyone found guilty of heading a terror group faces a prison term ranging
between 12 and 20 years and anyone found guilty of planning to set up a terror
group one and eight years, said the gazette.
The law, approved by the Legislative Assembly in March, also covers crimes of
terror financing, it added.
