because of a shortage of fresh produce. bells ringing. and we ll be hearing all about the appeal to recruit more bell ringers, in time for the king s coronation. hello and welcome if you re watching in the uk or around the world. a british woman who joined the islamic state group is about to find out whether she can regain her uk citizenship. shamima begum was 15 years old when she travelled to syria, where she married an islamic state fighter. she was later stripped of her british citizenship on grounds of national security, but has appealed against that decision. begum says she was a victim of human trafficking,
in our airspace in the past. breaking news, we arejust breaking news, we are just hearing that shamima begum has lost her appeal against the removal of her uk citizenship. this is a woman who, at the age of 15 in 2015, left the uk and travelled to syria to join the islamic state group and she was stripped of her british citizenship by the home secretary at the time, sajid javid, because of her involvement with the extremist group. she has appealed against having her citizenship stripped, but she has now lost that appeal. let s speak to a security expert from the university of buckingham. thank you
live in bangladesh, but the bangladeshi government has always made it clear that they don t want her to go and live there. she was born in the uk, she spent her entire life before she travelled to syria in the uk and they don t feel they have any responsibility for her. that then leaves her in the camp in north east syria. the problem with thatis north east syria. the problem with that is this is not a prison that is being run by a recognised government, this is a detention camp essentially that has been run by a rebel group in north east syria. it is not a very permanent situation. there is a risk of people escaping, there is a risk of the camp being overrun if there is any further bits of the civil war, there is the risk of the civil war, there is the risk of the civil war, there is the risk of the kurdish run administration in north east syria saying we don t want to take responsibility for all these people that travelled round these people that travelled round the world to join isl
her lawyers have argued that, rather than being stripped of her citizenship, she should have been treated as a victim of trafficking for sexual purposes, because she was married to an adult fighter within weeks of arriving in syria. and richard barrett, who specialised in counter terrorism at both mi6 and the united nations, believes leaving women such as shamima begum in the camps creates more risk, not less. at least if she were in london, there would be procedures for monitoring her. the local community would be aware of her. and there also might be ways to ensure that she wasn t still radical, trying to bring her back into society. there s no such programme available in the camps in north east syria. what do you think you ll be doing in seven years time from now? still be in this camp! really? yeah. you don t think you ll be home? nope~ not at all? nope. why not? because isis was the worst thing
