They have to be tried under UK Law and a successful prosecution is unlikely, not least because their lawyers will be claiming they cannot have a fair trial because of the adverse publicity they have had.
It is a problem that could have been dealt with, but our useless government kicked it into the long grass, as usual.

Australia has stripped five people of their citizenship due to involvement with Islamic State and "serious terrorist-related activity",
"The anti-terror laws mean Australians can have their citizenship cancelled if they also hold citizenship of another nation and therefore are not left stateless."

The paper calls on the government to update the crime of treason if it feels there's not enough evidence to try them here.
It quotes a senior official for the semi-autonomous Kurdish enclave in Syria - where many of the fighters are held - as saying Britain should take on its moral and humanistic duty towards its citizens."
Given the news today about the British jihadists who are presently being held in Syria (see above)...do you think it's high time the laws relating to the crime of Treason are updated?
What would you recommend?
