Shamima Begum has lost a legal challenge over the decision to deprive her of her British citizenship
.
The now 23-year-old brought a challenge against the Home Office over this decision at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission , a specialist tribunal which hears challenges to decisions to remove someone's British citizenship on national security grounds. Following a five-day hearing in November, the tribunal dismissed her challenge on Wednesday.
However, Sir James Eadie KC, for the department, said the security services "continue to assess that Ms Begum poses a risk to national security". Sir James later said then-home secretary Sajid Javid took into account Ms Begum's age, how she travelled to Syria - including likely online radicalisation - and her activity in the country, when deciding to remove her British citizenship.
