Islamic State jihadist and recruiter Neil Prakash has been stripped of his Australian citizenship as he faces years behind bars in Turkey, it's been reported.
The 27-year-old was told of the Australian government's decision on December 21, becoming the 12th dual national to have their citizenship annulled over associations with offshore terror groups, The Weekend Australian reports.
It's understood Prakash holds Fijian citizenship through his father.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said earlier this year he hoped Prakash rotted in a Turkish jail after a Turkish court rejected the Melbourne-born terrorist's extradition to Australia to face justice.
Prakash has been in custody near the border with Syria since 2016 after he attempted to enter Turkey with false documents.
He is facing charges of committing crimes against Turkey by being a member of Islamic State - which could result in him spending 25 years in a Turkish jail.
Prakash has previously admitted being a member of Islamic State but said he had nothing to do with the group in Australia.
The former rapper from Melbourne had featured in IS videos and has been linked to a failed Melbourne plot to behead a police officer and another attack in which two officers were stabbed outside a Melbourne police station.
