Terror offenders should be jailed indefinitely if necessary, says Gove
After Streatham attack, experts warn against applying emergency law to current prisoners
Michael Gove has said some terrorism offenders should be jailed indefinitely “if necessary” as the government was warned that it faces legal challenges to emergency legislation proposed in the wake of the Streatham attack.
The senior cabinet minister said “Islamist extremist terrorists” were in a different category to other offenders and must not be released until the Parole Board had deemed them safe to be on the UK’s streets.
