(National-UAE) The UK’s counter-extremism tsar is calling on the government to overhaul urgently its terror legislation to ensure extremists are not exploiting gaps in the law.
The head of the Commission for Countering Extremism, Sara Khan, has launched a legal review into the UK’s terror laws but says the government needs to act now.
She told the BBC’s Today programme that every day the government fails to act more people will become radicalised.
“Every day I see extremists spreading propaganda, from justifying and celebrating the murder of MPs, acts of suicide bombing or glorifying terrorists such as Brenton Tarrant, to people encouraging attacks on places of worship, and it is frightening material,” she said.
