This message from Yahyaa exposes the mental torture of the IPP legacy. IPP Prisoners are no longer relying on a Parole Board condemned by the UN, they are looking straight to @karentodner and the Government to do the right thing and free them all soon.

@LifeOutside2017@AndyBurnhamGM@MoJGovUK The best support IPPs could get is from their family and loved ones. More often the supervision support from Probation FAILS as you can see the amount of recalled IPP’s. Likewise the govt can do early release for others without support, IPPs like Yahyaa would not need it either.
Any updates from @AndyBurnhamGM or the @MoJGovUK on the release of #IPP prisoners?
Was September's statement just lip service to raise hopes, or is there real progress being made? The silence is deafening.
Families and prisoners deserve real action, not just empty promises.
The PM has said IPPs are set to end, but when will this happen and what’s the plan? #IPPScandal

The government @andyburnham calls the #IPP sentence a "long-running injustice," yet the High Court continues to delay the habeas corpus hearing. For prisoners like Yahyaa, every day delayed is another day of torture. We need action and an end to this now!
#IPPsentence
@LifeOutside2017@AndyBurnhamGM The psychological damage of an IPP sentence follows people outside. Being locked up indefinitely breaks a person's mental health. Releasing people without comprehensive rehabilitation & community support leaves them completely lost & alone.
Last week, Yahyaa received devastating news. A childhood friend from his town took his own life. He was an IPP prisoner, released on licence that had just ended. After years of imprisonment, he was left lost, alone, and forgotten.
The #IPPscandal continues to destroy lives.
@AndyBurnhamGM IPP was abolished in 2012, & nearly 100 people have now taken their own lives because of its toxic legacy. Abolishing it on paper isn't enough while thousands are still trapped by it. Act now before more lives are lost. Release them now! Blood on #government hands
The trauma of these indefinite sentences doesn’t end at the prison gates.
The psychological torture of IPP sentences continues to kill. This injustice must end.
How many more people have to die before this historical injustice is truly fixed?

Does anyone know the date for the High Court hearing for the #IPP habeas corpus applications?
Will it still be in Cardiff or is it changing location to London?
A prison probation worker told Yahyaa he had to "contend with 60 million people of this country." When challenged, she dismissed it as a "light-hearted" comment.
This isn't humour, it is a dangerous, far-right extremist comment designed to intimidate a minority prisoner.
Releasing people without proper support for accommodation, money, work and social factors, then giving them just £76, a tent or a place in a drug-filled approved premises, along with complex licence conditions and an electronic tag, hardly sets them up to build a new life.
Yahyaa has served 18 YEARS on a 4 year minimum IPP tariff longer than the average time served for murder or manslaughter in the UK. How is it "just" to trap people indefinitely while killers serve less time? The system is completely broken, cruel, and disproportionate.
#EndIPP
The corruption of the IPP sentence is sick. Yahyaa had a brilliant release recommendation after 1.5yrs of hard work. Now a new POM steps in, ignores the files, & uses lazy, offensive religious profiling to invent "risks" out of thin air. They want them to break. He’s had enough.
@Hope_for_IPP It’s very very frustrating especially after working so hard all these yrs which he doesn’t need to do as his index risks are assessed to be low. He and others like your nephew are being held hostage on this arbitrary system, and everything they are doing is under duress!
@Hope_for_IPP Thank you. Yahyaa’s old POM was brilliant, providing glowing recommendations for release, only for his parole to be indefinitely adjourned again. Now 2 new POMs have stepped in, lazy-restarting historical allegations of extremism with clear religious bias. Absolute corruption.
