A lawsuit could be filed against the government for its inability to require that two members of a British Isis cell known as the "Beatles" not be executed in the United States.
Members take offense at the fact that they were not consulted about the reversal of a long-standing policy prohibiting the extradition or sharing of information in the United States. cases where the death penalty could be used
. examining the possibility of a lawsuit against State Secretary Sajid Javid on the fate of Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, who were stripped of their British citizenship before being captured in Syria at the beginning of the year.
Frances Crook said, "We are committed to upholding the rule of law and the total abolition of capital punishment. We have been informed that a lawsuit is possible. We consult senior legal officials on specific details and we will make an announcement shortly.
Ben Emmerson, former United Nations special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, said the decision was "unscrupulous". incompetent and almost certainly illegal.
He told BBC Radio 4 Today that the historic position of the British government to oppose the death penalty in all circumstances "has been translated by a rule absolute, which is legally enforceable not to extradite an individual to a country where he or she seriously risks the death penalty without having the prior badurance that the sentence will not be enforced. "
Minister of Security Ben Wallace: two Isis terrorists "wander to the UK" "If the government has not shared intelligence with the United States
Kotey and Elsheikh are currently being held by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a non-state coalition supported by the United States.
This, added to the fact that they are no longer British citizens, means that the transfer will technically not be an extradition, but an arrangement of "mutual legal badistance".
A letter from the Minister of the Interior revealed to the US Attorney General that the government was not asking for the pair to be transferred to Britain for trial or seeking badurances that the death penalty would not be used.
"We believe that a successful federal prosecution in the United States is more likely because of the differences in his book of laws and the restrictions on the challenges of the way in which defendants appear in US courts," he said. writes Mr. Javid.
He also promised to hand over documents from a four-year investigation by the anti-terrorism police. criminal investigation.
million. Emmerson said the decision could "absolutely" be challenged in court and violate the government guidelines issued by David Cameron in 2010 that "prohibit any such cooperation".
The lawyer said that although the deprivation of British nationality means Kotey and Elsheikh can not badert some of their prior rights, it is "unimportant for the lawfulness of the British government to convey information to a power where they know that the consequence will be a fundamental abuse of human rights of this type ".
Ben Wallace, the Minister of Security, argued that the search for insurance against the death penalty could "hinder" a US trial in the House of Commons last week.
He was mocked for suggesting that Kotey and Elsheikh "roam freely" and used Isis 'horrific crimes to elucidate MPs' questions about why the government had not followed the policy normal.
"The Crimes of Which We Are Talking" I think of the beheading of dozens of innocent people by one of the most heinous organizations that walk on this earth, "said Mr. Wallace
