Lecturers have criticised government anti-extremism guidance that says colleges must monitor what staff and students look at on the internet and report it to the police if necessary. The University and Colleges Union said that it could lead to the arrest of innocent people carrying out genuine academic research. Last year Rizwaan Sabir, 22, a student at the University of Nottingham, was arrested and detained for six days after downloading an al-Qaeda handbook and sending it to a member of staff in connection with his dissertation on terrorism. A spokesman for the union said: “The last thing we need is people too frightened to discuss an issue or research a subject because they fear being arrested or institutions panicking and calling in the authorities.” Related Links Muslim mothers learn to spot extremism on internet How advertisers are stalking your children The guidance says that colleges should do all they can “to prevent staff or students from accessing illegal or inappropriate material through college ICT systems”. It adds: “Using college computers to e-mail terrorist publications to others could be a criminal offence. “There have been examples of groups linked to violent extremism trying to use college premises for campaigning or other events. Colleges should be aware of this risk.” The guidance highlights examples of concern at colleges, including a student challenging fellow Muslims on their un-Islamic clothes and telling them not to mix with non-Muslims. Similar guidance was issued to schools and universities last year. |
