Following a series of devastating attacks in the U.K. and mounting criticism of her counter-terrorism record, Theresa May has vowed to do whatever necessary, if re-elected later this week, to “restrict the freedom and movements of terrorist suspects” even it means ripping up “human rights laws that get in the way.” Among other things, the Prime Minister has said she will make it easier to deport foreign terror suspects and will extend existing laws that restrict the freedom of British suspects on whom authorities “have enough evidence to know they present a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court.” Per The Telegraph:
“When I stood on the steps of Downing Street after the London attack I said enough is enough and things have got to change.”
“We need to take on the ideology that unites and motivates the perpetrators of these attacks.”
“We should do even more to restrict the freedom and the movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they present a threat, but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court.”
“And if human rights laws get in the way of doing these things, we will change those laws to make sure we can do them.”
“If I am elected as Prime Minister on Thursday, I can tell you that this vital work begins on Friday.”
