February 2020. Emergency legislation will be introduced to end the automatic early release from prison of terror offenders, the government has said. Justice Secretary Robert Buckland told MPs the change would apply to both current and future offenders. Terror offenders will only be considered for release once they have served two-thirds of their sentence and with the approval of the Parole Board. It follows two attacks by men convicted of terror offences in recent months. On Sunday, Sudesh Amman, 20, was shot dead by police in Streatham, south London, after stabbing two people. And in November two people were killed near London Bridge by Usman Khan. Amman was released from prison towards the end of January, while Khan was out on licence from prison when he launched his attack in central London. Mr Buckland said the latest attack made the case “for immediate action”. These people that are intent on Killing should Never be Released.
