UK police won't name fugitives to protect their privacy
Almost 50 per cent of police forces in the UK are refusing to release the identities of dangerous fugitives including ten suspected killers – to protect their “human right” to privacy. Many constabularies said naming those wanted for child abuse, rape, murder and kidnapping could cause the suspects “damage or distress”.
The refusals emerged from Freedom of Information requests submitted by the Daily Mail to Britain’s 45 police forces, asking for the number of suspects classed as “wanted”.
The newspaper also requested the names, details and photos of the ten suspects who had been fugitives for the longest period in their force areas. But 12 forces refused to give names on the basis of privacy.
