TRT World’s exclusive documentary reveals how the UK’s counterterrorism strategy “Prevent” disproportionately targets British Muslims.
Prevent requires public sector workers to refer individuals seen as at risk of being "drawn into terrorism" to local authorities, encouraging them to monitor for "signs of radicalisation." Often, this has meant relying on stereotypes regarding Muslims.
While the UN recently has called on the UK government to suspend the strategy and compensate its victims, Prevent Watch reports a surge in Prevent referrals since October 7, as pro-Palestinian activism is increasingly flagged as a potential "sign of extremism". #Prevent #Counterterrorism
