Should we take back defectors to Isis?

Should people who left Britain to join Isis be allowed back into the UK now that Isis has been defeated?

Shamima Begum wants to return with her newborn son.

My take on this is that she should not be allowed to return. Although she was only 15 at the time of her going to Syria, she has stayed there for four years, supporting an enemy of this country.

I know that there are international legalities to be considered, but do we really want to allow known terrorists to return to the UK?

If they have no other citizenship, then we have no choice. But of course they should be charged with any terrorist offences and locked up.

I think this has been discussed in detail on two other threads.,

I agree Anja we have had over 1000 posts on the subject- what more is there to say?
Lyndiloo may I suggest you look at the (second) thread Isis girl
