PRESS RELEASE: UK – IHRC Chair Massoud Shadjareh commenting on newly released terror arrest conviction rate

“A mere 13% success rate, for what are supposedly overwhelmingly intelligence-led operations, is an indication of heavy-handed policing, which has become instrumental to the alienation and criminalisation of the Muslim community in the name of security.”
