Unfortunately her profile as a traitor is not as easy to prove as it was, say, for William Joyce, who was hung in British courts for that crime after WW2, despite having taken German nationality.

This is also true of every other ISIS volunteer that joined up and survived.

It is also intriguing to note that the allegations of "grooming" have only been raised now she, unrepentant, wants to "come home". Convenient that isn't it.
Little point in me continuing with this really when virtually everyone on here, even you, are happy to play judge and jury.
According to Stenson her family are more than complicit in what she’s done, while according to mista, her father at least is critical and contrite.

None of us know the truth and I, like all of you, utterly despise what she has done and the organisation she joined.

OTR would have her shot and even the normally mild mannered Adi is clearly enraged. I’m currently many thousands of miles away and possibly a little out of the loop, but for me we have to remember three things...
i) She was a ****** up fifteen year old when she left.
ii) She remains a British citizen.
iii) As as an advanced and civilised country, GP we should never justify our behaviour by judging it alongside the standards set by ISIS.
