Should be tried in Syria. Why haven't they arrested her?

can't she stay there and have her court case held via the medium of "on line"? Why does she need to set foot back in a country she disowned and celebrated the death of many people? She made her bed, let her lie in it.

Nandy on Marr this morning saying she backs her coming back to the UK, the inevitable conclusion to this story

Good luck with that red wall 👍🏻

How?
Perhaps she could make masks or deliver meals to care homes or something.

Mind you, we may need to give her a car to do that.

A court has decided that she is a British citizen and as such, no government has the right to remove that without proper legal process, which is what the government did. That’s why courts and judges are independent of government. Simple as that.

So I’m all for allowing her back and then, if there’s enough evidence to charge her with an offence then let her be arrested and charged and then tried in court. If she’s found guilty then she serves her sentence and is then freed and hopefully rehabilitated, ie: she’s treated like every other prisoner should be. I can’t see what’s so controversial about that, tbh.

Many of us went off on tangents when we were younger, which we probably regret. ..
I certainly regret those baggy jeans with red piping down the seam I got from Petticoat Lane when I was 19. Were all the rage in soul boy/disco circles back then, but really if I'd ended up in the Hague War Crimes Court for such an affront to humanity I couldn't complain.
Bloody hell. I’d erased those from my memory, and rightly so.

The alternative offered to her was to return to the UK and to holiday with Thor, in Cornwall.

She chose to stay in a Kurdish prison camp.

The only UK that has ruled on it so far has found stripping her of UK citizenship was legal.

What do you think should happen to her Pammy? (Apologies if you've said it already but the previous pages just make my eyes bleed)

Could she even be tried in the UK for possible crimes carried out in another jurisdiction?

Don't think so. Isn't that what teh extradition process is for? I sort of assumed she'd face trial here for joining a terrorist organisation (not sure of the exact legal terminology).

If she's an enemy of the UK state, then surely it's best to have her here?

Great idea, if someone goes to the legal system because of a political decision you just stop them meeting their legal team and stop them getting into court.

I'm thinking more about how she can be made accountable for any alleged atrocities/crimes/acts/whatever she's been complicit/party to against others in that region. I agree that a UK court is only ever likely to consider whether or not she committed an offence by joining ISIS in the first place (possibly the most minor of her offences). But, once back here, the UK government could never permit a citizen to be extradited to a failed state. Therefore, once back here, she's unlikely to ever have to face her Yazidi accusers/victims.

As I've said, as much as I hate what she represents, I accept that bringing her back is the morally right thing to do. It's just that I reckon in doing so we'll be denying others the justice they may deserve.

I hope the authorities are investigating exactly what she has been up to, although Syria looks such a mess I doubt they'll be able to prove much.

Her trip home will have to wait, as the government have been granted permission to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. Should be heard later this year.
