1. “According to Tarique Ghaffur, who occupied a high-ranking position in Scotland Yard, mass incarceration is a necessary measure for national security, as there are far too many suspects for the police and intelligence services to monitor.”
2. “He called for at least 3,000 people to be sent to internment camps, which have been historically used to lock up suspects without trial or evidence of wrongdoing.”
3. “It emerged over the weekend that Britain’s domestic security agency, MI5, has monitored 23,000 people suspected of involvement in Islamist extremism in recent years, of which 3,000 are still “subjects of interest.”
4. “Internment was introduced in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Up to 2,000 people were detained for over four years without trial, leading to hunger strikes and public backlash.”
5. Ghaffur said the idea of interning terrorist suspects should not be shunned because of “political correctness.” “Let us have a proper national debate about this, and not be afraid to speak openly for fear of offending any communities, or for the sake of political correctness,” he said.”
