Syria: British Nationals Abroad

To ask Her Majesty's Government what information they have, if any, that British nationals may be put on trial in north-east Syria.

The UK Government is clear that those individuals who have fought for, or supported Daesh, whatever their nationality, should face justice and accountability through prosecution in the most appropriate jurisdiction: often in the region where the crimes took place. Her Majesty's Government is not aware of any current trials in north-east Syria involving British nationals.
