Islamic State fighters who return to the UK must face justice, committee says

  • A parliamentary committee said more than 400 Islamic State fighters who returned to the UK after committing crimes in Iraq and Syria must face justice.
  • This follows the failure to prosecute any of these fighters successfully due to legal limits and a lack of coordinated government action.
  • The committee highlighted that British nationals joined the banned group Daesh, which committed genocide, murder, rape, and displaced over 200,000 Yazidis.
  • Lord Alton emphasized that the UK cannot ignore crimes committed abroad and called for changes to the law alongside stronger efforts to prosecute those responsible.
  • The report urges amending the Crime and Policing Bill and improving law enforcement coordination to ensure returned fighters face accountability in UK courts.
