Stephen Gallant, a participant in the arrest of the terrorist Usman Khan, may be released 10 months earlier than planned thanks to the pardon of Queen Elizabeth II. On November 29, 2019, Gallant, along with Khan, participated in an event for the rehabilitation of convicts in London; When the terrorist started stabbing people, several people tried to arrest him with the help of improvised means before the police arrived.
British Queen Elizabeth II has applied a special right of pardon to 42-year-old Stephen Gallant, who is serving a 17-year prison sentence for murder, the Mirror reported Oct. 17.
In June 2021, Gallant will be able to appear before an early launch commission and will apparently launch 10 months ahead of schedule.
The queen applied a special right on the advice of the government, palace sources told the publication.
On November 29, 2019, Gallant and two other unarmed men attempted to arrest the terrorist Usman Khan on London Bridge. Khan killed two people with a knife during an event for the rehabilitation of prisoners, which took place in the building of the Fish Traders Guild. Gallant, who also participated in the event, grabbed the narwhal’s horn hanging from the wall and ran after the terrorist. Another man directed a fire extinguisher stream at Khan.

Soon the police arrived on the scene and shot the criminal.
Gallant was convicted in 2005 of the murder of firefighter Barry Jackson. He mistakenly thought that he was threatening his girlfriend and together with his friends they beat him to death. Jack, the firefighter’s son, told the publication that the family supports the killer’s release; the events at London Bridge showed that people can change, said Jack Jackson.
British monarchs rarely use the special right of forgiveness. For example, the last assassin pardoned was 25 years ago, former Irish Republican Army leader Sean O’Callaghan. The last time Elizabeth II exercised her right was in 2013, when she posthumously overturned the 1952 conviction of the famous mathematician Alan Turing, who was convicted of homosexual issues.
