Scotland Yard was today criticised for failing to catch a knifeman five days after he stabbed a Christian preacher wearing a Charlie Hebdo T-shirt at Speakers’ Corner, as counter-terrorism officer continue to investigate.

An estimated 30 witnesses saw Hatun Tash, 39, being slashed across the face in broad daylight at Hyde Park on Sunday with some filming what happened in an area of Central London that is packed with CCTV cameras.

The force are believed to be holding a meeting today to discuss how they police Speakers’ Corner going forward, but questions are being asked about how the attacker got away so easily after stabbing the preacher.

I suspect the police believe an arrest would disrupt social cohesion.

Manchester Arena bomb plotter Hashem Abedi is refusing to co-operate with a prison deradicalisation programme while serving 55 years for helping his brother kill 22 concertgoers.

Abedi is one of five inmates in a separation centre at maximum security HMP Frankland in County Durham and he along with three others have turned down the opportunity to change their ways, reports ITV News.

The Ministry of Justice granted the broadcaster access to HMP Frankland and HMP Full Sutton in East Yorkshire to provide insight into how they attempt to deal with, house, categorise and deradicalise prisoners convicted of offences under the Terrorism Act.

These “programmes” are a joke exploited by Jihadis.

Hatun Tash, the woman slashed in the face at Speakers’ Corner on Sunday, claims the iconic location on the edge of Hyde Park has become the very opposite of a free debating space as the Christian preacher has found herself facing down the “Muslim mob”.

Tash, a 39-year-old Christian convert from Islam having moved to the UK from Turkey eight years ago told the Times: “In my early days, Speakers’ Corner was a much calmer place. Now it is not and I am regularly attacked by a Muslim mob.

“We don’t live in Pakistan, we don’t live in Saudi Arabia. I am Christian and by default, I believe that Muhammad is a false prophet. I should be allowed to say that in the UK,” she added.

… The report also detailed abuse set out by another victim, known as Anna, whose social worker recommended she be placed in the foster care of the parents of the man who was abusing her.

Speakers’ Corner: Counter-terrorism police probe knife attack

An attack on a woman who was slashed with a knife at Speakers’ Corner in London is being investigated by counter-terror police, the Met said.

The 39-year-old needed hospital treatment after she was attacked in Hyde Park on Sunday afternoon.

The force said while its investigation was being led by Counter Terrorism Command, “the incident is not being treated as terrorism-related”.

No arrests have been made although a knife was later found in the park.

Still scratching their heads searching for a motive.

Yesterday’s bloody events in Hyde Park should horrify everyone who believes in liberty and reason.

When are we going to talk about Hatun Tash? She’s the ex-Muslim and Christian evangelist who was allegedly slashed with a knife in broad daylight in Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park yesterday. And almost as shocking as the incident itself – as this horrific assault on a woman who was merely expressing her beliefs – has been the silence about it. There has been a trickle of press interest, but no big media splashes, no hashtag solidarity, no politicians expressing concerns that Britain seems to have become a country in which you criticise Islam at your peril. What is going on here?

A woman wearing a Charlie Hebdo T-shirt has been stabbed at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park as police hunt for a man dressed in black who fled the scene.

The 39-year-old victim suffered a stab wound and was seen with blood pouring down the side of her face after the stabbing at the site where people gather for public speeches and debates on Sunday.

The man who carried out the attack quickly sprinted away as he was chased by members of the public as well as police.
