British-born Shamima Begum, who went to Syria as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State, lost her latest appeal against the UK government's decision to take away her citizenship
LONDON, Feb 22 - A British-born woman who went to Syria as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State lost her latest appeal against the UK government's decision to take away her citizenship on Wednesday.
Shamima Begum left London in 2015 aged 15 and travelled with two school friends to Syria, where she married an IS fighter and gave birth to three children, all of whom died as infants. She was stripped of her British citizenship on national security grounds in 2019, shortly after she was found in a detention camp in Syria., when her lawyers argued that Britain’s interior ministry, the Home Office, failed to investigate whether she was a "child victim of trafficking".
Her lawyers also argued that then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid had "pre-determined" that Begum's British citizenship should be revoked before he received any evidence from officials.
