Nicolas Henin, a French journalist tortured by the terrorist cell The Beatles, "has joined calls for Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh to face a fair trial amid suggestions that they could be sent to Guantanamo Bay.
In a letter, the Interior Minister overturned a British policy of refusing to extradite people to countries that use capital punishment without the badurance that she will not be used.
Sajid Javid reportedly stated that the United Kingdom "does not currently intend to seek, nor actively encourage" the transfer of Kotey and Elsheikh to Britain from Syria, where they are currently held by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alongside thousands "I am of the opinion that there are good reasons not to require insurance of the death penalty in this case, therefore no guarantee will be required, "he told the US Attorney General in a document obtained. by the Daily Telegraph
"We believe that a successful federal lawsuit in the United States is more likely to be possible because of the differences in your book of laws and restrictions on the challenges of the route by which defendants appear in US courts. "
M. Javid has promised to hand over documents from a four-year investigation conducted by the anti-terrorism police to be used in a federal criminal investigation or prosecution.
million. Henin urged the authorities not to yield to pressure from public opinion for Kotey and Elsheikh to be judged fairly.
He said The Independent that the death penalty would be "short-sighted", adding that: "Of course, the public must be protected against the risk that these people pose, they must be neutralized . " "But they must also be appropriately neutralized, or they will promote recruitment [for Isis] and if that makes other people disgusted by their treatment, then it is ultimately counterproductive."
million. Henin said that Kotey, Elsheikh and other Isis activists had claimed that they "loved death" and were actively seeking to be martyred.

million. Henin said the families of their American victims were "very active" in pressuring the US administration and would not accept them at Guantanamo without trial. . "For me, it's fine to kill them on the battlefield, that's the reality of the war, but after a trial and the judicial process, I do not agree to imitate your enemy. "
Diane Foley, the mother of the murdered American journalist James Foley, called Kotey and Elsheikh to stand trial in the United States or in an international court.
"I think it's very important that they be judged in an open trial. ", She declared on the BBC Radio 4 broadcast Today ," I am transparent so that everyone can know the crime they committed. " and everyone they could commit. I am very against the death penalty, I think that would make them martyrs in their twisted ideology … I think it is easy for them.
"I would like them to be held accountable by being sent to jail for the rest of their lives"
Ms. Foley said that she believed her son "still wanted justice in the sense the most just "and that he would have felt the same.
Lord Carlile, former independent examiner of anti-terrorism legislation, described the letter as".

In the face of what has been said several times and recently by the Ministry of the Interior … Britain has always said that it would transmit information and intelligence in appropriate cases, provided that There is no death penalty. Amnesty International UK described the half-wave as "a deeply worrying development" and said Britain should not compromise on its general opposition to the death penalty.
