The British government after the attacks involving parolees Islamists will introduce a bill that tightens the rules of parole for those convicted of crimes related to terrorism. The convicts will be able to count on PAROLE after he served two thirds of his term and with the consent of the PAROLE Board, reports the BBC.
The Ministry of justice stated that the law will be presented, “when parliamentary time allows”. The government will also consider adopting new legislation to ensure closer monitoring of extremists at release and will consider the question of whether enough of the current maximum penalties for terrorist crimes.
After changes in the legislation, persons convicted of crimes related to terrorism will no longer be automatically freed after serving half of his term. Commission parole Board of England and Wales welcomed the plans, while human rights group “Liberty” said that the actions of the government after the recent terrorist attacks as causing “growing concern of our civil liberties.” Media noted that the new measures will almost certainly be subject to appeal in the courts, and the new bill may be the subject of proceedings in the Supreme court.
The reason why the government decided to immediately tighten the mechanism of parole, was the terrorist attack on 2 February in South London. About two o’clock local time (17:00 GMT) the man came into the shop and attacked people with a knife. Then he went outside and attacked a woman on a Bicycle. Arriving police shot the assailant three times, he died on the spot. Injured three people, was hospitalized. Police said that the attack is associated with Islamism, on the body of the attacker found a fake explosive device.
It became known later that the victim, 20-year-old Sudesh Amman, in late January, was released from prison, where he was imprisoned in 2018, three years and four months for the dissemination of extremist views. Authorities have not explained on what grounds he was on the outside after serving only half the term – if it was a regular parole or part of a special operation that may indirectly confirm the prescribed for criminal surveillance.
A similar attack took place in London on 29 November last year. 28-year-old Usman Khan, the belt of which was mounted a model of the explosive devices with a knife attacked people at the adjacent London bridge historical building of the London Guild of rabotorgovtsev. Killing two people.
Later it became known that Usman Khan was the student and other radical Islamic preacher Anjem Choudary, who led the banned extremist group “al-Mujahidun” and supported the “Islamic state.”* In September 2016, Choudary was sentenced in Britain to five years and six months imprisonment.
Khan in 2012, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for terrorism – he tried to detonate on Christmas eve 2010 London stock exchange, big Ben and Westminster Abbey, as well as to attack Boris Johnson, who was then the mayor of London. In December 2018 Khan was released from custody on parole with the obligation to wear an electronic bracelet.
