ENG601PM Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I appreciate our politicians either want to either hang em or give them a cup of tea and a chat but it seems to me that prosecuting UK citizens for terrorism in Iraq, Syria, Sudan, etc isn't really the business of UK courts. So how about extraditing them for prosecution and sentence in the country where they committed the crime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 IT is though. The Terrorism Act says so. They are our citizens it's up to us to clean up the mess they leave on the world stage. Of course if they get caught first in foreign climes, we have to wait for the other jurisdiction to have their say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that it is our business to act as a judicial proxy and deny local justice in the country where they committed their crime. Seems a bit of a White Man's Burden to do so. Hints of empire. Latent racism. That sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We are not denying justice. IF they want them they can extradite them for it. It doesnt stop us from adding on extra charges that we are concerned with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I agree with the op, do not prosecute them here. Ship them off to the USA where if found guilty they will be punished, severely. The Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp is waiting. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
