Johnson government validate biased Prevent reviewer. Validating Islamophobia?

Liberty has responded to the Government’s appointment of Lord Carlile to lead the independent review of Prevent.

"It beggars belief the Government has appointed a Prevent reviewer who is on public record saying he is biased towards it.

“This confirms our worst fears about the Government’s lack of commitment to a root and branch assessment of Prevent.

“After a secretive appointment process, the Government has placed responsibility for the review in the hands of someone who gave Prevent the green light in the first place.

“This exercise should be an objective and thorough scrutiny of the very premise of the Prevent strategy - which stifles speech, spreads fear and distrust, and encourages discrimination. That will be impossible under this reviewer.

“This appointment will be a cause of dismay for communities whose lives are most damaged by Prevent legislation.”

-Martha Spurrier, Liberty director
