Shamima Begum told Sky News last year she 'never did anything dangerous' in Syria, as she attempted to return to the UK. Get more on this story here:
In February, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission - a specialist tribunal which hears challenges to decisions to remove someone's British citizenship on national security grounds - ruled the decision was lawful as Ms Begum was"a citizen of Bangladesh by descent" at the time of the decision.
Lord Justice Flaux - sitting with Lady Justice King and Lord Justice Singh - said:"Fairness and justice must, on the facts of this case, outweigh the national security concerns, so that the leave to enter appeals should be allowed." Sky's defence and security correspondent Alistair Bunkall said the decision"really bolsters her case, being able to return to the UK, albeit inevitably under very strict controls".Ms Begum's solicitor Daniel Furner said she was"not afraid of facing British justice" and wanted the chance to"clear her name".
"The government's top priority remains maintaining our national security and keeping the public safe," a spokesperson for the department said.
