Prevent review ‘riddled with bias and anti-Muslim prejudice’
Home Secretary Suella Braverman arrives in Downing Street, London. Picture date: Tuesday February 7, 2023.
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.
