Switzerland to strip jihadis of citizenship in major terror crackdown
2016-07-29
[Express] The Swiss State Secretariat for Migration has made changes to its Civil Rights bill to deal with the increasing issue of terrorism in Europe.

A case was brought before the courts when the government applied to strip a 19-year-old of his dual nationality.

The unnamed man, who joined Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria in 2015, also held Italian nationality
Not a dual national then, but a triple national, if one considers, as the Islamic State must, emigration to ISIS being the necessary step to naturalized citizenship in the Caliphate.
but posted photos of himself with the decapitated head of one of his victims.

Now the jihadi from Winterthur in the canton of Zurich in northern Switzerland is no longer a citizen although he is also believed to be dead.

#4  no longer a citizen although he is also believed to be dead

Easy precedent if there is no challenge from his estate.

#2  It is amazing to me that this is considered remarkable.

Anyone that joins the ISIS should be chipped and dropped off in ISISland.
