Labour have just told a man who nearly died after being kicked into the path of a van that his attacker could be released early from prison. Last summer, James Hatcher was kicked by Salman Kamraman Karim into the path of a van in a random attack. Hatcher suffered broken legs, ribs, pelvis, wrist and jaw, a punctured lung and a bleeding brain. He went into a coma for 6 days. He can’t work. He can’t live his life as he knew it. His whole life has been turned upside down by this criminal. His attacker was only sentenced for grievous bodily harm in June. Just 2 months later, Hatcher was notified that Karim will be eligible for early release. Imagine the horror, imagine the sense of deep injustice, that his attacker could now walk free. James can barely even walk. Don’t forget that early releases existed under the Tories too. Only Reform will shut them down for good. We will rapidly build new prisons, deport all 10,000+ foreign offenders in British jails, and create enough space to end all forms of early release. Reform will keep violent criminals where they belong: in jail.
