Prevent strategy review hit by defamation action before publication

Critics fear still-unpublished review into anti-radicalisation strategy could link it to extremism

An organisation that monitors Prevent, the UK government's controversial programme to stop people getting drawn into terrorism, has warned of a defamation action against the Home Office before a review into the strategy.

Prevent Watch, which has supported 600 individuals it says have wrongly been affected by Prevent, sent a formal letter to the department threatening legal action.
