Counterterrorism review calls for Shamima Begum and other British-linked people in Syria to be repatriated
The commission recommends appointing a special envoy and enrolling returnees in deradicalisation programmes to manage risks and uphold UK human rights obligations.
- The Independent Commission on UK Counterterrorism recommended repatriating Shamima Begum, British-born detainee , and other British-linked people detained in Syrian camps.
- Britain's `strategic distance` policy involved stripping citizenship, limiting consular assistance and funding Kurdish guards who man detention camps to keep detainees stranded.
- The commission urged appointing a special envoy to oversee repatriation and inform returnees of prosecution, listing travel restrictions, investigations and deradicalisation programmes as tools, while finding Al Hol and Al Roj camps' conditions constitute inhuman and degrading treatment.
- Estimated 50 to 70 British-linked individuals and 12 to 30 children, half under 10, are detained; Begum lost an appeal last year, and the government confirmed no plans for her repatriation.
- The commission warned the situation is unsustainable and risky, saying US government pressure, Syrian regime changes, and other states repatriating citizens may force Britain to begin returns.
