Accidental release of sex offender is sign of broken' justice system, minister says
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"This individual had no right to be in the country in the first place, let alone committing the kind of offences that he committed. I'm sure everybody else watching was just as shocked when they saw this individual had been released accidentally. It wasn't that he made an escape bid: he was released in a way that should not have happened. Now, that is a sign, isn't it, of a broken criminal justice system."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigates political finance, and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' that profiles American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet does not use paywalls and solicits donations to fund on‑the‑ground reporting. Housing secretary Steve Reed said the accidental release of Hadush Kebatu, an Ethiopian national jailed for sexually assaulting a 14‑year‑old, indicates a broken criminal justice system. Kebatu received a 12‑month sentence in September and was wrongly freed from HMP Chelmsford instead of being transferred to an immigration detention centre. The mistaken release provoked widespread condemnation and led to Kebatu's arrest in Finsbury Park.
