"Prof Ian Acheson, advisor to the Counter Extremism Project, said: 'We must take responsibility for our own citizens suspected of serious terrorist offences overseas.

"Prof Ian Acheson, advisor to the Counter Extremism Project, said: 'We must take responsibility for our own citizens suspected of serious terrorist offences overseas. They need to be returned to this county and held accountable in our courts for their crimes and, if convicted, serve sentences here. We can and should use all legal methods at our disposal to send people from this country who travel abroad to commit acts of violent extremism to jail for a very long time'"
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler ist Senior Director beim 'Counter Extremism Project' (CEP) und leitet das Büro in Berlin. Er ist Mitglied des Beirates der Global Diplomatic Initiative in London, unabhängiger Direktor im Verwaltungsrat von 'Compliance and Capacity Skills International' (CCSI) New York und Lehrbeauftragter der Akademie für Sicherheit in der Wirtschaft. In der Vergangenheit war er Mitglied und Koordinator des ISIL, Al-Qaida and Taliban Monitoring Team des Sicherheitsrates der Vereinten Nationen."

CEP Senior Advisor Lucinda Creighton writes: "Us president’s Joe Biden’s announcement of a successful US drone strike on Ayman al-Zawahiri, one of the world’s most wanted terrorists, could be described as both a triumph and an indictment of America’s anti-terror strategy all at once."
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed on the killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

"John Kirby, National Security Council Spokesman, Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Sr. Director of the Counter Extremism Project and Shawn Turner, former Communications Director for the Director of National Intelligence, discuss what happened, how it happened and what it means."

"'This would be an easy win for the Iranians,' said Mr. Schindler, who is now New York-based senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, an international policy organization focused on extremist ideology. 'This could be a point where a chip that they’ve been guarding so carefully could play out at quite considerable benefit.'"

CEP Senior Advisor Lucinda Creighton interviewed: "Europe’s terrorist content bill came into effect just two months ago and represents a positive step forward. The Counter Extremism Project, with whom I work, supported it. The bill is not a vague catchall like hate speech legislation, which is subjective, open to misinterpretation, and raises legitimate freedom of expression concerns. This terrorist content law defines what type of videos and other content are considered to be terrorist. It is explicit. Bomb-making videos, for example, are forbidden. These videos are not a reasonable expression of speech – they are designed for malign purposes. Under the new European law, police notifications to remove such content are binding."
“Hans-Jakob Schindler, a senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, which tracks jihadi groups, noted that al-Adel ‘has become very high value’ since al-Zawahiri was killed, ‘and the Iranians usually take advantage of such situations.’”

CEP provided information for a United Nations Report of the Secretary-General: "Such narratives are characterized by violent masculinity and overlap with conspiracy theories, associating feminism with the purported decline of the family and reduced birth rates in certain parts of the world."
