Oliver Lewin, a telecoms engineer convicted of plotting attacks on communication masts and the motorway to destabilize the government, has become the first person with a terror conviction to have his parole hearing held in public. Lewin, who previously expressed antisemitic views and promoted conspiracy theories online, told the panel he now feels 'a healthy amount of respect' for Israeli people and believes his conviction was unfair. The hearing included testimony from prison officials, with differing opinions on Lewin's risk to the public and his progress in de-radicalisation. The panel will continue to review evidence before issuing a decision on Lewin's potential release.
