Rejected petition Detain All ISIS Fighters Who Have Returned To The UK.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Deciding whether to put someone in prison is the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government and Parliament.

It's already a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 to belong, or profess to belong, to a proscribed organisation like ISIS in the UK or overseas.

If you would like Parliament to ban ISIS fighters from returning to the UK, you might like to sign this petition instead:
