Prevent, the government's 'counter-extremism' program, is a legal duty across the public sector - but not enough people know what it really entails. We've made this short explainer video outlining how Prevent operates and the ways in which it threatens our civil liberties.

This is very important to listen to; British gov. is doubling down on its ineffective, oppressive Prevent policies with no thought for the mountain of evidence that's piled up against it.

The Shawcross review of Prevent urges the destruction of any semblance of free expression and multiculturalism in Britain. I spoke to Peter Oborne, Dr Layla Aitlhadj and Prof John Holmwood about it for Preventing Prevent Cambridge:

In the Prevent review, William Shawcross specifically cites Douglas Murray & Melanie Phillips as unfairly characterised by a Prevent Officer
Did Shawcross disclose how these individuals were known to him & had helped him on his book, before he published this in their support?

The Independent Review of Prevent has been published today. More on that to come, but there is a key mistake on p.3, which claims all UK attacks since 2019 have been "Islamist in nature"
They have not.

Shawcross review of Prevent is 'deeply prejudiced and has no legitimacy'
'This review is riddled with biased thinking, errors, and plain anti-Muslim prejudice - frankly, the review has no legitimacy' - @ilyas_nagdee

The so-called independent review seeks to expand state powers through the securitisation of Muslims, reaffirming what our communities have been saying since the inception of Prevent.
It's a tool used by the gov & authorities to suppress the free expression of the Muslim faith.

🧵1/13 The Shawcross “Independent review" into Prevent perfectly exemplifies how this Tory government ignores the gravest of concerns of Muslim communities; pencilled in to publish today, what have been its problems?

Today the Home Office released new PREVENT data.

Reckless Whitehall leaks have turned the Shawcross review into Prevent, supposedly crucial for Britain's domestic security, into a shambles amidst Tory infighting and cynical culture wars. My latest column for Middle East Eye:

The Govt's controversial Review of the UK's counterterror programme 'Prevent' is overdue by nearly two years.
However, for months it has been deadlocked as lawyers try to work out if the Govt will get sued upon its release as it names Muslim individuals & groups 'extremist'.
The government's war on free speech may escalate further in months to come:
Ah, the obvious next step of "British Values" counter-extremism:
People who vilify Britain will be treated as extremists and referred to the Government’s deradicalisation Prevent programme under plans to widen the definition of extremism by Rishi Sunak.

Muslims were told to reserve judgement of the Shawcross review of Prevent until its findings were released.
It is already turning out to be exactly what was feared - a direct attack on Muslims
Excellent article by @shahedezaydi.

"In order to become British, Muslims were being asked to deny, or at least modify, their own identity and heritage."

"Until that moment, British citizens had generally been allowed to think and conduct themselves as they wanted, as long as they stayed within the law.
"The invention of the concept of non-violent extremism meant citizens could now be harassed, put on secret lists or barred from public life for offences which they often did not even know they had committed. It lies at the heart of the Prevent doctrine."
