Shamima Begum will not be able to come back to the UK after losing a legal challenge
over the decision to deprive her of her British citizenship. The court decision was made eight years after she left east London as a 15-year-old schoolgirl to join Islamic State .
Today , following a five-day hearing in November, the tribunal dismissed her challenge. Ms Begum’s barristers, Samantha Knights KC and Dan Squires KC, said at the time of the hearing that she was “recruited, transported, transferred, harboured and received in Syria for the purposes of ‘sexual exploitation’ and ‘marriage’ to an adult male”.They also argued that the Home Office unlawfully failed to consider that she travelled to Syria and remained there “as a victim of child trafficking”.
The 23-year-old left her home in east London in 2015 with two school friends to travel to Syria and join the so-called Islamic State caliphate. She married the notoriously hardline IS member and Dutch national Yago Riedijk, 27, aged just 15 and had three children with him, who all later died. He said: “The commission has fully recognised the considerable force in the submissions advanced on behalf of Ms Begum that the Secretary of State’s conclusion, on expert advice, that Ms Begum travelled voluntarily to Syria is as stark as it is unsympathetic. Further, there is some merit in the argument that those advising the Secretary of State see this as a black and white issue, when many would say that there are shades of grey.
