JUST Yorkshire have launched a damning independent review into a strand of the government’s counter-terrorism initiative, Prevent, calling for its immediate closure.
The report was based on interviews with 36 Muslim individuals including activists, journalists, faith leaders and students.
JUST Yorkshire, an initiative set up to address racial justice, claims the findings concluded that Prevent is not only counter-productive but holds the entire Muslim community as collectively suspect, and is built on a foundation of Islamophobia.
In a statement the organisation said that, if Prevent becomes mandatory, “this will mark a dangerous down-hill turn on the civil liberties of British citizens”.
