In the light of recent terror attacks across the EU and the lenient prison sentences these individuals receive. We would like the law changed so that anyone committing or planning a terror attack, joining terror group and their accomplices receive a mandatory life sentence of no less than 25 years
Recent terror attack in France saw a Priest beheaded by an individual recently released from Prison. He served a light sentence for trying to join an ISIS group in Syria. These people would of been safe if these individual had been jailed for life.
