With 169 recommendations from Sir John Saunders’ 194-day investigation, only five remain unresolved — including critical ones about forcing witnesses to testify. The bomber’s brother, Ismail Abedi, vanished after being stopped at the airport, raising questions about why authorities couldn’t prevent his escape. New measures under discussion include passport freezes and mandatory pre-hearing interviews to ensure accountability and prioritize victims’ voices.
