<p /> <p>Release on temporary licence is not an entitlement and each prisoner is rigorously
risk-assessed before they are allowed to be released on ROTL. All prisoners must wait
until the latter part of their sentence for resettlement ROTL, and those convicted
of terrorism-related offences are subject to the tougher, Restricted ROTL process
that the Government introduced last year.</p><p>In the period January 2010 to 14 November
2014 15 prisoners convicted of a Terrorism Act offence or of an offence that was terrorism-related,
where the motivation stemmed from an extreme ideology, were released on temporary
licence.</p><p>The 15 prisoners represent a range of ideologies and contain a number
of animal rights activists.</p>
