Illustrating a primer on a highly controversial law.
2020 saw the passage of the Anti-Terror Act, and with it came numerous protests and disputes regarding its coverage, constitutionality, and potential for abuse.
PCIJ and FLAG created a primer to easily explain aspects of the Anti-Terror Act. The accompanying illustrations thematically point to concerns raised by experts and citizens: increased and emboldened law enforcement and surveillance; the power of the law, and how it looms large over us all; and the targeting of protesters as “terrorists.”

The primer logo.
The logo appears at the start of the primer. The theme of power is also evident.
The large hands are a recurring motif in the illustration series.
