UK broke law over IS 'Beatles' by passing information to US
Media playback is unsupported on your deviceThe UK acted unlawfully by passing evidence to the US that could lead to the execution of two British members of an Islamic State murder squad.
They were seized by Kurdish forces in 2018 as the Islamic State group began to crumble - and the US says it wants to prosecute them if the UK won't put the men on trial in London. "She has been asking since November 2018 for the CPS to conduct a review of the claim that there was insufficient evidence for him to be charged and tried in the UK - a review that the CPS now says should be completed by April 2020."
Explaining the judgment over an unprecedented video link, due to coronavirus measures, Lord Kerr said:"Much of the information provided, or to be provided, to the US authorities consisted of personal data. The seven justices however were split over whether the UK had a more wide-ranging legal bar on sharing any information with the US that could put someone at risk of capital punishment.
