Remove the citizenship of those who have fled to fight with Daesh in Syria/Iraq

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Many people who sympathise with Daesh have fled the UK to fight with the terrorist group. Daesh are hostile to UK interests, and Daesh are sending British jihadis back home to commit terrorist atrocities in the UK. So therefore the citizenship of those fighting with Daesh needs to be removed.
