The now-23-year-old is about to find out whether she is allowed to return to the UK and win back her British citizenship, eight years after she joined the Islamic State terror group in Syria.
Shamima Begum - who left home in east London at the age of 15 to join Islamic State in Syria - will find out today if she is allowed back to the UK.
The SIAC will hand down its written judgment over whether she should win back her British citizenship and return to the UK after a lengthy period gathering evidence and testimony from the government and Begum's family.

Begum had fled the village of Baghuz, where there was fierce fighting taking place in a last stand for Islamic State., she had just given birth, and was said to be"unrepentant" about joining IS, but did want to return to the UK.stripped Begum of her British citizenship
