Robert Jenrick, a candidate for the Conservative leadership, is under fire for his controversial assertion that UK special forces are opting to "kill rather than capture" terrorists due to concerns that European laws could lead to the release of detained individuals. In a campaign video shared on social media platform X, Jenrick made this claim while outlining his reasons for advocating for the UK's departure from the European Convention on Human Rights. His remarks have sparked significant backlash, with critics condemning the implications of his statement regarding the conduct of special forces and the broader impact on human rights.
