No terrorism offenders to be released without review, says minister
Emergency legislation will retrospectively toughen terms of sentences being served by 220 terrorist offenders
The government is to introduce emergency legislation to retrospectively toughen the terms of the prison sentences currently being served by 220 terrorist offenders to prevent their automatic release, the justice secretary has announced.
In a move likely to face legal challenge, Robert Buckland said that all terrorist prisoners, including those currently in prison, will not be released before their full sentence has been served without an expert risk assessment from the Parole Board.
