“A British Supreme Court judgment in March ruled that it was unlawful for the UK to share evidence with Washington without seeking assurances that the pair, accused of beheading Westerners, will not face the death penalty.”
What about Kayla Mueller? Does she get any chance to be spared the death penalty?
Kotey and Elsheikh have admitted their involvement in her captivity. She was raped and murdered. Why do they need to face trial? It’s a useless drain of resources to establish what they have already admitted doing. But the primary concern of the government of shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain is their well-being. Must not offend the nation’s Muslim communities — that’s the top priority.
“British ISIS ‘Beatles’ who have admitted their involvement in the captivity of US aid worker Kayla Mueller ‘will be spared the death penalty so they can be brought to the US and face trial,'” by Ralph R. Ortega, Dailymail.com, July 31, 2020:
America is willing to drop the threat of the death penalty in order to put the British ‘ISIS Beatles’ on trial, it was reported last night.
El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are accused of belonging to a four-man execution cell in Syria named after the band by their captives.
Elsheikh and Kotey have also admitted their involvement in holding American aid worker Kayla Mueller, who was sexually abused and killed after she was held hostage for three years.
Both are currently in US custody in Iraq. Moves to take them to the States for trial have been stalled for months.

A British Supreme Court judgment in March ruled that it was unlawful for the UK to share evidence with Washington without seeking assurances that the pair, accused of beheading Westerners, will not face the death penalty.
That was not something the US was prepared to give. But the Washington Post last night reported a possible change in the situation.
Sources told the paper that US Attorney General Bill Barr discussed the move at the White House, hoping it would facilitate Britain’s sharing of crucial evidence.
The Pentagon has put pressure on the US Department of Justice to get the pair, both stripped of their British citizenships, out of Iraq and put on trial in America.
FBI agents were said to be in London while a federal prosecutor was in Iraq gathering more evidence on Kotey and Elsheikh.
Both have admitted being involved in holding American US aid worker Kayla Mueller, who was held hostage from 2015 to 2018, sexually abused and killed.
Kotey and Elsheikh had previously denied ever meeting the Mueller, but changed their story in interview tapes obtained by NBC News.
‘She was in a large room, it was dark, and she was alone, and… she was very scared,’ said Elsheikh, a member of the cruel execution squad dubbed the ‘Beatles’ because of their British accents.
‘I took an email from her myself,’ he admitted, meaning he got an email address ISIS could use to demand ransom from the family. Kotey said: ‘She was in a room by herself that no one would go in.’
ISIS reportedly demanded 5 million euros from Mueller’s family, telling them that that they would send ‘a picture of Kayla’s dead body’ if their demands were not met.
Mueller, an international aid worker, was abducted in Syria in 2013. During her captivity, she was raped by the former ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, US officials have said…
The family members of Kotey and Elsheikh’s victims, including Mueller’s parents Marsha and Carl, published an op-ed in the Washington Post calling for the duo to be brought to trial in America….
