there was additionally some information provided on one offender who had completed
a sentence for a terrorist offence in 2010 but was then convicted of a further terrorist
offence. The details are that he was originally sentenced to 6 years’ imprisonment
on 18 July 2007, reduced to 4 years on appeal, for soliciting murder (during a rally
against the cartoons satirising the prophet Mohammed in February 2006). He was released
on 12 December 2008, on his conditional release date, and he was on licence until
his sentence expiry date 12 October 2010.</p><p> </p><p>He was then sentenced to a
total of 12 months’ imprisonment on 18 September 2012 for three offences of possessing
a document or information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing
an act of terrorism. His sentence expiry date was 7 May 2013.</p><p> </p><p>In October
2013, the Secretary of State announced that criminals convicted of terrorism offences
will no longer be automatically released at the halfway point of their prison sentence.
They will only be released before the end of their custodial term under strict conditions
and at the discretion of the Parole Board, who must be satisfied that an offender’s
risk has been addressed and can be managed in the community before they will allow
release.</p>
