Universities in the United Kingdom have been illegally providing counter-terrorism police with personal details that breach the 1998 Data Protection Act. The Muslim News, UK, exposed that the principles of the Act are contravened by handing over membership information of Islamic Societies to police. Last week, James Hodgson, a Student Activities Officer, admitted that “mistakes were made” when mobile phone numbers and email addresses of Islamic Society and Medical Islamic Society members were released to Anti-Terror Police, without a legal requirement to do so.
