The Australian government has stripped Australia's most infamous Islamic State recruit, Neil Prakash, of his citizenship over his association with the terrorist group.

The 27‑year‑old Prakash, who is currently imprisoned in Turkey on multiple charges, is the 12th dual citizen to lose their Australian citizenship because of terrorism‑related activities.

The Melbourne‑born man has featured prominently in Islamic State propaganda videos and has been linked to terrorism plots and recruitment activities in the Western world, including Australia.
