Two Daesh militants should never set foot in UK again: Defense chief
[PRESSTV] Britannia's Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson says two captured ISIS turbans from the United Kingdom should never be allowed to return to their country.

Williamson made the comments on Saturday in an interview with the Sun newspaper after Britannia reportedly stripped El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Amon Kotey of their citizenship.

"I don't think they should ever set foot in this country again," Williamson told the newspaper. "They turned their back on Britannia, our values and everything we stand for ‐ they are the worst of the worst."

The two British citizens were members of a ISIS kidnapping cell dubbed "The Beatles" which was notorious for videotaping beheadings. They were involved in the killing of detained Western hostages.

The men were captured in January in eastern Syria by the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which are supported by the US.

The two captured men were the last two remaining "Beatles" members who were still on the lam. Mohammed Emwazi, known as "Jihadi John," was killed in 2015 in a dronezap by the US-led coalition claimed to be fighting against ISIS. Another "Beatles" member, Aine Davis, is being imprisoned in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
The US State Department described Kotey, 34, and Elsheikh, 29, as executioners and jailers for ISIS.

Kotey "likely engaged in the group’s executions and exceptionally cruel torture methods, including electronic shock and waterboarding. Kotey has also acted as an ISIS [ISIS] recruiter and is responsible for recruiting several UK nationals to join the terrorist organization," the State Department said in a statement.

"Elsheikh was said to have earned a reputation for waterboarding, mock executions and crucifixions while serving as an ISIS [ISIS] jailer," the statement continued.

According to reports, Britannia is planning to send the two bully boyz to the notorious US military prison Guantanamo Bay or another prison outside of the United Kingdom, where it believes the rules of the Geneva Conventions do not apply.
The Daily Mail adds:
Kotey, a half-Ghanaian, half-Greek Cypriot nicknamed Ringo, and Elsheikh, who fled Sudan with his family aged five and was known as George, had been deprived of their UK passports on national security grounds after they travelled to Syria.

Between 2006 and 2015 at least 81 deprivations of citizenship orders were made including 36 because it was ’conducive to the public good’, but reports have put the number as high as 150 for those fighting with IS.

It means they are not allowed back into the UK. Security sources said UK imported muscle were increasingly having citizenship removed so they did not have to be dealt with in the UK courts if they are captured. Officials fear that if UK jihadis are sent back to Britannia much of the evidence could be inadmissible in the courts, for instance if they had been tortured and mistreated by local forces, and they would be set free on the streets.

A senior US official said Kotey and Elsheikh had provided valuable details about the remaining IS leadership and support structure.
