(National-UAE) The UK has not yet “successfully” prosecuted former ISIS fighters’ war crimes committed in Syria and Iraq, despite the possible involvement of British citizens, a report has found.
The terrorist group was accused of genocide by the UK government for the killing of about 5,000 Yazidis, and the kidnapping of women and children belonging to the minority group in Iraq in 2014.
Yet hundreds of ISIS fighters who are believed to have “returned” to the UK after the group was defeated by a US-led coalition in 2017 have yet to be prosecuted for their potential involvement in genocide, crimes against humanity or other war crimes, a report by the UK Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights found.
