Buckland Leads Review into Amess Murder

0:00It's March 23rd, from London to Lisbon, Paris to Prague. This is Europe News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Sir Robert Bucklin, the former Conservative Justice Secretary, will lead an independent review into government shortcomings before the murder of MP. Sir David Ames, home secretary Shabbat Amamoud, announced the appointment this week, after meeting with the family earlier this year. Sir David was stabbed to death during a constituency event in Essex in 2021, by Ali Harbi Ali, an Islamic State supporter sentenced to a whole life term. The killer had been flagged under the Prevent Anti-Radicalization Program seven years earlier, but his case closed in 2016. Sir David's family welcomes the chance to work with Buckland, whom they respect, but they insist on a full statutory public inquiry for true, accountability. They plan to engage constructively while pushing for more transparency. A prior review last year found, Prevent Mishandled Ali's case, by closing it too soon.
