TERRORISTS are being let out of jail at a rate of nearly one a week, shock figures reveal.

Many are freed despite still being deemed a danger.

And terror suspects in jail hit a record 218 last year — seven per cent up on the year before.

Of those, 184 have been sentenced.

The rest are awaiting trial or sentence.

Forty-six convicted terrorists were released last year, government figures reveal.

More than 500 have been freed since 9/11.

Cleric Anjem Choudary, 51, is set to join them next month.

He has served half a 5½-year term for urging support for IS.

He also inspired Lee Rigby butchers Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale and London Bridge fanatic Khuram Butt.

Prisons minister Rory Stewart called him “genuinely dangerous — a deeply pernicious, destabilising influence.

"We’ll be watching him very, very carefully.”

He said of others let loose: “I’m in no doubt these people are highly dangerous.”

But security minister Ben Wallace said the release figures showed Britain’s terror blitz “was working”. He said: “We’re seeing more trials than ever and longer sentences for the most dangerous offenders.”

Some 82 per cent of terror suspects in prison are Muslim fanatics and 13 per cent are right-wing ones.

Freed terror lags are put under curfew and GPS trackers monitor them.

They can also face curbs on where they live, web access and whom they associate with.
