British PM Johnson said Monday that the automatic early release of convicted terrorism offenders from prison must end after an Islamist attacker, recently released from prison, injured 2 people in a stabbing rampage in London this weekend.
One man in his forties was initially considered to be in a life-threatening condition but is no longer considered to be, Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lucy D'Orsi said on Sunday. A woman in her fifties was injured but has been discharged from hospital.
D’Orsi said that the suspect had not yet been formally identified but that the police were “confident” that he was Amman. Following that attack Johnson, who was campaigning to become prime minister, called for a new law to ensure terrorism offenders serve the entirety of their sentence. Prisoners in England and Wales are typically released halfway through their prison terms and serve the remainder in the community.
