(BBC) The Prison Officers’ Association has called for a “fundamental review” of the UK’s de-radicalisation programmes.
Dave Merritt, father of London Bridge attack victim Jack Merritt, told BBC Radio 4’s File on 4 that “something was going wrong” with the current system.
His son’s attacker, the convicted terrorist Usman Khan, previously took part in two Home Office de-radicalisation programmes.
The government said it had “tough measures” to tackle prison extremism.
But Sudesh Amman, who injured passers-by in a knife attack in Streatham in February, is reported to have refused to engage with attempts to turn him away from violence.
