Liberty responds to Woolwich attack

23 May 2013
Isabella Sankey, Director of Policy, said:
"The shocking violence we saw yesterday on the streets of Woolwich fills us with horror - and our thoughts remain with the loved ones of the man who lost his life.

"As we struggle to understand the brutality we must not let those who seek to sow division and hatred win the day.

 

"Acts like these and subsequent ugly reprisals are designed to terrorise and provoke. Let us respond in our best British traditions and resist calls for legislation that will not make us safer - but only less free."
