Shamima Begum, one of three east London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join so-called Islamic State, should be allowed to return to the UK to challenge the removal of her British citizenship, senior judges have ruled.
The 20-year-old left the UK in February 2015 and lived under IS rule for more than three years before she was found, nine months pregnant, in a refugee camp in February last year.
The then home secretary Sajid Javid revoked her British citizenship on national security grounds later that month.
In an interview with Sky News she claimed she was “just a housewife” during her four years in IS’ self-declared caliphate, where she married a young Dutch fighter called Yago Riedijk three weeks after arriving.

Shamima Begum likely suffered enough …
….. and she was a minor when she left….
Would she have got the same treatment if she had been a white Brit?!
