The Shamima Begum case has prompted fresh questions about how the UK manages those returning or attempting to come back from Syria. But what options do authorities have in such instances?
– Arrest and prosecution
– Managed return
Powers known as temporary exclusion orders (TEOs) were introduced in 2015. They can last for up to two years and can be imposed on those suspected of involvement in terrorism abroad, making it unlawful for them to return to the UK without engaging with authorities. The powers were unused in 2016, while nine TEOs were issued in 2017.
– Removal of citizenship
– TPIMs
– Deradicalisation
