At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation"
"The prison officers' union has questioned why one employee was unjustly suspended after an asylum-seeker who sexually assaulted a teenage girl was freed by mistake. And the chief inspector of prisons said mistakes over prisoner releases were happening all the time and were symptomatic of chaos in the system. Mark Fairhurst, chairman of union the POA, said the employee, a custodial manager, was the only person under suspension when at least two more senior staff members were involved in freeing Hadush Kebatu from HMP Chelmsford."
"The Ethiopian national was jailed for 12 months in September for the sexual assault, and was wrongly released on Friday instead of being sent to an immigration detention centre, a blunder that sparked widespread condemnation. He was arrested on Sunday in Finsbury Park, London, after a two-day manhunt. Mr Fairhurst told The Guardian: One of our members has been unjustly suspended because he is not the only one involved in this entire process."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech and invests in on-the-ground reporting, documentaries, and investigations funded by reader donations rather than paywalls. The outlet emphasizes making quality journalism available to everyone and asks supporters to fund reporters who speak to both sides of stories.
