Neighbours Who Keep the Curtains Closed and a Boy Who Likes to Draw Guns Among 'Suspects' of Terror Hotline
Wednesday, 02 June 2010 05:45

'A schoolboy 'obsessed' with drawing pictures of bombs and guns, and a neighbour who liked to keep his curtains drawn, are among dozens of people being reported to a police scheme aimed to unearth potential terrorists.
Critics of the Channel Project say it encourages people to spy on their neighbours, but police claim the scheme's aim is to prevent 'vulnerable people' becoming radicalised. Dozens of people in East Lancashire, mainly aged between 15 and 24, have been reported to police for having either extremist Islamic views, far-right leanings and or being IRA sympathisers.
Police complete background checks on all individuals reported before a panel meets to decide if any action needs to be taken. Interventions can range from a simple chat, to a complex mentoring and counselling process.
