Kemi calls for halt to early release scheme for worst offenders as victims warn 'we're not safe'

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has called for a halt to the early release scheme for the worst offenders, urging the introduction of emergency laws. This demand follows warnings from sexual abuse victims, who expressed feeling unsafe and exhausted by the prospect of perpetrators being released early. Badenoch highlighted the disparity where victims must endure the impact of life sentences while offenders are granted early liberty, sitting alongside campaigners to advocate for stricter legal protections.
