In the aftermath of the terrible attacks at two Christchurch mosques on 15th March, conference notes:
The attempt to rehabilitate the Prevent programme as a means of preventing similar far-right attacks in the UK.
Conference believes that promoting Prevent as a tool to combat Islamophobia is cynical and lacking credibility, given the role of Prevent in institutionalising Islamophobia. Conference believes the media campaign to rehabilitate Prevent is designed to further entrench the repressive apparatus of Prevent in universities, colleges and other public bodies.
Conference resolves:
1. to oppose any expansion of Prevent, and to prepare campaign materials reiterating our call for its abolition
2. to support branches in developing local campaigns against Prevent alongside students.
