Homegrown terrorist Sudesh Amman was released from Belmarsh prison despite concerns he “retained extremist views” and had apparently signalled his intent to strike again, his inquest has heard. Police were so concerned about 20-year-old Amman’s apparently unrepentant behaviour that they asked the prison governor not to release him. However, the request was turned down because the offence Amman was jailed for could not justify an extension of his sentence, his inquest at the Royal Courts of Justice heard. Amman was subsequently released and was under 24-hour surveillance when he ran into a shop, stole a kitchen knife, then went on a 62-second rampage along Streatham High Road in south London on February 2 2020.
