Former ISIS fighter released on human-rights grounds seen shopping near Windsor Castle

Iraqi national Mohammed Yaseen, linked to ISIS killings and a former Al Qaeda member, entered Britain illegally and was sentenced to two years, of which he served six months before being released on bail. After a German court found him guilty of membership in ISIS and involvement in bombings and mass executions, the UK attempted to deport him, but the Foreign Office raised concerns about possible mistreatment in Iraq. Consequently, he remains in the country under an ankle tag, a night-time curfew and taxpayer-funded accommodation in Windsor.

Security officials later saw him shopping at a Co-op close to Windsor Castle, sparking outrage from MPs over the threat near the royal residence and the estimated £85,000 annual cost of his upkeep. Critics, including Chris Philp, argue the government is paying excessively to house a person deemed a danger to the nation.
