BREAKING: Shamima Begum loses appeal over decision to remove British citizenship
Shamima Begum has lost her legal challenge over the decision to deprive her of her British citizenship.
The schoolgirl, from East London, was 15 years old when she and two other teenagers travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State in February 2015. Her British citizenship was revoked on national security grounds by then-home secretary Sajid Javid shortly after she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.
She had been locked in a legal battle with the government ever since, recently challenging the Home Office at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission over the decision. READ MORE: Arena attack cop spent 17 MONTHS in hospital after sudden injury that could have 'happened to anyone'
