ISIS is bad, no one is denying this

The citizenship concept is a requirement for modern life. If a person has their citizenship revoked, what are they to do?

They are illegal where they are, and they are illegal where they go. To my knowledge, there's no processes in any country for becoming a citizen without a preexisting citizenship from another country.

Back to this specific example, if she had wanted to come back and denounce ISIS; what should the UK offer her?

What about if she wanted to come back and face trial; what should the UK offer her?

In the end, just to point out the obvious, revoking citizenship is completely unneeded. If she comes back, charge her with her crimes. If she travels, extradite her. If she stays, let the leopards eat her face.

I don't want any terrorist that has commited treason coming back to the UK. They can rot for all I care.
