Original Note:
There is no evidence that (due to the ECHR) British armed forces are killing rather than capturing terrorists. Former defence secretaries and senior figures in the Army have refuted this claim and no evidence to substantiate this claim has been provided. https://news.stv.tv/politics/ex-defence-secretary-saw-no-evidence-of-claim-that-sas-kill-terrorists https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/robert-jenrick-claims-uk-special-forces-kill-terrorists-eu-law/ https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/robert-jenrick-tom-tugendhat-james-cleverly-susie-european-b1185326.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/10/01/robert-jenrick-criticised-by-tory-leadership-rivals/
