(Middle East Eye) An alleged member of an Islamic State (IS) execution cell dubbed “the Beatles” is scheduled to be deported from Turkey to the UK within days, Middle East Eye can exclusively reveal.

Aine Davis, who is originally from London, was convicted of membership of IS in 2017 and sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison after being arrested by Turkish security forces in Istanbul in November 2015.

He is currently being held at Ankara’s Sincan prison but is due to be released, having served his sentence. Davis is scheduled to be deported to the UK on 9 July, MEE has learnt.
