The United Kingdom’s highest court has ruled Shamima Begum, a woman who was stripped of her citizenship after fleeing to Syria to join ISIL (ISIS), should not be allowed to return to the country to challenge the decision, because she poses a security risk.
Begum left London in 2015 when she was 15 and travelled to Syria, via Turkey, with two friends from her school.
Now 21, she is currently being held in a detention camp in Syria after her British citizenship was revoked in 2019 by then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid.
Javid argued at the time that Begum was eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship, the birth country of her parents.
