UK Admits 12 Prisoners Wrongfully Freed; Two Still Missing, Lammy Confirms | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

UK Justice Secretary David Lammy has revealed that 12 prisoners were wrongfully released over the past three weeks, with two inmates still at large. The disclosure follows a string of high-profile errors, including the accidental release of Algerian national Brahim Kaddour Cherif, who was later rearrested, and Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, captured after CCTV and bodycam-led tracing operations.  Lammy says the government is investigating the systemic failures behind the releases, calling the situation “unacceptable” and promising urgent reforms to prevent further mistakes.  This developing story raises fresh questions about UK justice-system oversight, prison management, and public safety.   #UKNews #DavidLammy #PrisonSystem #BreakingNews #UKJustice #PublicSafety #APT

00:01I made it clear in Parliament that on a paper-based system there will always be human error and

00:07there has been a human error for all of my lifetime until we move to a completely digital

00:12system.

00:13I think it's impossible to rule out error but there has been a spike, it's on a downward

00:18trajectory.

00:19There have been 12 since I made that statement, at the moment two are currently at large.

00:30I made clear to Parliament when I spoke to them that the trajectory began to increase

00:52in the last four years of the last government because of their new release schemes and the

00:58complexity of that system, a system that we're simplifying with the sentencing bill through

01:03Parliament.

01:04That does mean that every week there are one or two cases.

01:14It places huge demands on our police, particularly as we re-arrest these people.

01:20That's why I've put the systems in place to see the number come down but we would have

01:25to move beyond a paper-based system.

01:27I've asked Lynn Owens to look at this.

01:30She was former director of the National Crime Agency.

01:33She will do that work and we will build on that work so we see that number come down to

01:38more traditional levels.

01:39It's now 17.15 and I'm arresting you on suspicion of sexual assault on a female under 16 years

01:44old so you do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention

01:47when questioned, something which you later rely on in court.

01:49Anything you do say may be given evidence, we're arresting you for a prompting and effective

01:52investigation by being to intervene to you and prevent harm to yourself or others.

01:55Okay?

01:56No problem.

01:57So give us two minutes, we'll just bottom a few things out and then we'll...

02:09try it again....
