HUMAN rights groups have slammed a Tory-backed review of anti-extremist programme Prevent, claiming the report is “riddled with bias and plain anti-Muslim prejudice.”

The long-awaited review, led by William Shawcross, concluded that the government’s strategy is “not doing enough to counter non-violent Islamist extremism.”

Mr Shawcross, who has been accused of harbouring anti-Islamic views, said in his review published on Wednesday that Prevent had focused too much on tackling far-right extremism and not enough on Islamist radicalisation.
