Abstract: 

On September 22, 2020, the British government shared evidence with the United States Department of Justice to prosecute the ISIS ‘Beatles’ after the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice ruled that the mother of El Shafee Elsheikh, one of the defendants, has no more grounds to block the transfer of criminal evidence to U.S. prosecutors.[1]
