Lawfare dilemma haunts UK as terrorist are released

Sunday Telegraph:

The men are living freely in towns and cities across Britain with only limited supervision by probation officers.

They were convicted of Islamist extremist activities including helping bombers, raising funds for terrorism and recruiting young men to fight a holy war, but were freed when they reached their release date - usually half way through the judge's sentence, with deductions for time served on remand.

The revelation will raise questions about the authorities' ability to deal with terrorists who reach the end of jail terms, and who pose a more complex and challenging risk than conventional criminals.

The Government's flagship policy for dealing with terror suspects in the community, the control orders regime which imposes long curfews and other restrictions, is unlikely to be used against these 20 men after being undermined by a House of Lords ruling last month.

Two more convicted terrorists who are due to be released from prison are illegal immigrants who cannot be deported because under human rights rules their homeland is considered to be unsafe.

Between the House of Lords and the EU the UK legal system is tied in knots with its lawfare approach to dealing with terrorist and their aiders and abettors. They keep having to turn them loose in the country and in most cases put them on welfare. This is a system that only liberals and terrorist like.
