I would, in all honesty, stick to the view that they have human rights. I would still say that they couldn’t have their citizenship removed and that they should face trial in the UK courts. I would also hope that they spent the rest of their sorry lives rotting in jail.

I live in the Philippines every 30 ish days on a visit visa.
I work in Malaysia on a work visa that does not allow me to reside in the country permenantly.

We don’t have the death penalty here and shouldn’t be sending people to places where the penalty exists if there’s a chance they’ll be executed. These pair are proper twats and I have no doubts that they deserve to die. I wouldn’t shed a tear. But that’s not the point. We don’t have the death penalty because it’s wrong and innocent people could be killed. The fact that these are clearly guilty is irrelevant. You can’t say we have (or support) the death penalty for those who are definitely guilty because we can’t be certain that those who are deemed to be guilty are guilty.
100% agree…but having turned them into “stateless persons” and that they reside in Syria, gives the UK government a convenient out. The government could say, “why ask us, they’re not UK subjects, do what you like. Ask those that hold them, they are the controlling factor”
Having said that, that would be morally bankrupt…but in these times, no surprise.
That would involve recognising the democratically elected government, so although the most sensible idea, it’s unlikely.
But some good news(legally).
