IHRC statement in response to Andy Hayman’s comments

In response to Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman’s comments today, IHRC Chair Massoud Shadjareh stated:

“The policy of stop and search without reason or suspicion has only lead to racial/religious profiling which has alienated entire communities.”

“Now that even Britain’s most senior anti-terror police officers are publicly recognising the inherent flaws of this policy, IHRC repeats its call for the repeal of section 44 stop and search and other elements of the anti-terror laws.”
