Shamima Begum loses appeal against British citizenship removal

Mr Justice Jay told the semi-secret court dealing with her case that her appeal had been fully dismissed.

Begum was 15 years old when she travelled to join the self-styled Islamic State group in 2015.

She went on to have three children, all of whom have died, after marrying a fighter with the group, the BBC reports.

In 2019, the then Home Secretary Sajid Javid stripped her of her British citizenship, preventing her coming home, and leaving her detained as an IS supporter in a camp.

The Special Immigration Appeals Commission has ruled that decision, taken after ministers received national security advice about her threat to the UK, had been lawful.
