Yousaf is first minister Prisoner denied parole

CHARLES BRONSON has been denied parole after he spent nearly half a decade in prison due to ‘risk of future violence’.

The decision regarding his parole was taken by a board during a public hearing which started in March.

Bronson has been in and out of prison since 1974 and was jailed for the first time when he was 22 years old for armed robbery.

He has since admitted to nine rooftop protests and 11 hostage sieges, per a local news source.

The notorious prisoner, who is now 70 years old, will continue to sevre his sentence after the ruling by the board.

BRONSON: Will have to stay in jail.

The decision of his parole was taken after a two­day hearing, which resulted in the board ruling that he “doesn’t have the skills to manage his risk of future violence.”

The most recent parole hearing was the eighth time Bronson has asked for his release.

THE threat level due to a terror attack in Northern Ireland has been raised, as officials warn “attack is considered highly likely.”

The level was raised by the British MI5 after police were targeted by “groups intent on politically­motivated violence.”

The announcement of the change in threat levels comes just a few weeks before a visit by US President Joe Biden, who is scheduled to arrive in the middle of this month.

Tensions have been high in Northern Ireland, especially after an attempt was made to murder a high­profile police official, Detective Chief

Inspector John Caldwell, in Omagh last month.

According to Northern Ireland Secretary Chris HeatonHarris, by a local news source, “The threat level to Northern Ireland from Northern Ireland Related Terrorism is constantly monitored and is subject to a regular formal review. The threat level review takes into account a range of factors and analysis of recent incidents.”

He also added that “The decision to change the threat level is taken by MI5, independently of Ministers.”
