Stop the prosecution of people who have returned from fighting against ISIS

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

British citizens are now being prosecuted on their return from fighting against ISIS. ISIS are a proscribed terror group that the U.K. government is active in combatting, yet returning ISIS terrorists are going unprosecuted. Stop prosecuting those that are fighting against these enemies of the U.K.

Why it was rejected
