Cooper: We want greater transparency on accused
Daily Express
|August 06, 2025
POLICE should be allowed to reveal if migrants have been charged with crimes, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper appeared to suggest yesterday.
She said ministers want to see "greater transparency" and vowed to change the guidance given to police chiefs and prosecutors.
She pointed to a case where Iranians were charged with spying offences in May and the Crown Prosecution Service revealed three of them had arrived either on small boats or a lorry. The College of Policing said transparency is “essential to prevent misinformation”.
The issue has been the subject of fierce debate in high-profile cases, including recently over the charging of two men — reported to be Afghan asylum seekers — over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
