Prime Minister David Cameron will announce on Monday new plans to address the radicalization of young British Muslims, including measures to withdraw the passports of those believed to be at risk of joining jihadist groups abroad.
As part of a strategy to tackle extremism, parents will be able to ask the government to seize the passports of 16- and 17-year-olds thought to be considering travel to Syria and Iraq, extending an existing right for parents to request the cancellation of passports of those under 16.
Another measure will ensure that anyone with a conviction for a terrorist crime or extremist activity will automatically be barred from working with children or other people regarded as vulnerable, according to information released by Mr. Cameron's office before the announcement.
