Judge rules Brit ISIS bride ‘too dangerous’ to have custody of her child after returning from Syria – but she WON’T face terror charges
With concern growing over the return of jihadis to the UK after the death cult collapses, it has been revealed that a woman returned to East London without facing any criminal charges
A BRITISH jihadi bride — deemed “too dangerous” to parent her daughter — is back in East London having been given a council flat at the taxpayers’ expense.
But despite betraying her country and joining ISIS, she has escaped prosecution because anti-terror police failed to find enough evidence against her.
Remarkably she has not faced justice even though the reports that during a High Court child custody battle, the woman was told she posed a serious threat to her daughter.
The revelation comes as a pregnant British teenager Shamima Begum who joined ISIS in Syria says she does not regret fleeing the UK — but wants to come home so her baby can be looked after on the NHS.
The woman who made it back, who cannot be named for legal reasons, fled the Caliphate in 2017 as ISIS' evil empire — almost unparalleled in modern history for its cruelness — began to crumble.
It is unclear how long she had spent there.
On arrival back in the UK she was immediately arrested on suspicion of terrorist offences.
But weeks later she was told the case against her had been dropped.
She now lives in council flat in East London at the taxpayer’s expense.
'EXTREMIST MINDSET'
During the custody court hearings, the judge said: “The mother’s Twitter banner was a picture of a number of females several of whom were carrying the IS-associated black flag with its white seal.
“She told me that she had no idea that the flag was being carried by some of these women was associated with IS…
“I have concluded that the mother’s explanation was a lie because she realised her Twitter banner was the clearest evidence of her having an extremist mindset.”
ESCAPED PROSECUTION
The court also heard that in 2014 her husband was already talking of martyrdom.
Under UK law the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act makes it an offence punishable by up to ten years in jail for anyone to enter a “designated area” abroad unless they can provide a “reasonable excuse”.
But jihadi bride went before the law was applied and it cannot be applied retrospectively to the woman.
Meanwhile Donald Trump last night demanded that Britain and other European allies should "take back" more than 800 ISIS fighters captured in Syria — or he will release them.
The US President warned the ISIS extremists could "permeate Europe" and called on Britain, France and Germany to put the prisoners on trial in their countries.
He said: "The United States is asking Britain, France, Germany and other European allies to take back over 800 ISIS fighters that we captured in Syria and put them on trial.”
RETURNING JIHADIS: What is the law in Britain?
In 2018, it was revealed that almost 400 Brit jihadis who fought for bloodthirsty ISIS in Syria are back in the UK.
But shockingly just one in ten have been prosecuted for "direct action they've carried out in Syria".
Around 15 per cent of the 850 Brits believed to have travelled to Syria or Iraq have died.
The Home Office says every person who returns is questioned by police and an assessment made over whether they are a threat to Britain.
However few have been prosecuted.
The Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill is currently going through Parliament, after its third reading in the House of Lords.
This could make travelling abroad to join terror groups an offence which carries a penalty of ten years in prison.
Security Minister Ben Wallace said: "The UK advises against all travel to Syria and parts of Iraq. Anyone who does travel to these areas, for whatever reason, is putting themselves in considerable danger.
"Everyone who returns from taking part in the conflict in Syria or Iraq must expect to be investigated by the police to determine if they have committed criminal offences, and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to our national security.
"There are a range of terrorism offences where individuals can be convicted for crimes committed overseas and we can also use Temporary Exclusion Orders to control an individuals' return to the UK."
