- Shaun Lloyd has been recalled to prison for the fifth time under an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence, originally imposed when he was 18 for snatching a mobile phone.
- His latest recall was triggered by an anonymous phone call alleging he strangled his mother, despite him not being arrested, questioned, or charged over the unproven allegation.
- Mr Lloyd has served nearly 14 years for the minor crime, with IPP sentences, abolished in 2012 but not retrospectively, leading to indefinite detention and repeated recalls for minor licence breaches.
- His case is currently under review by the UN, which is investigating the 'national scandal' of indefinite jail terms, described as 'psychological torture'.
- Mr Lloyd's family is appealing to the Justice Secretary for his urgent re-release, citing a serious health scare and the devastating impact of the recall on his life and mental health.
