British Supreme Court Verdicts That Islamic States Extremist Shamima Begum Cannot Return To UK

IS extremist Shamima Begum

The UK Supreme Court ruled Friday that "ISIS bride" Shamima Begum  cannot return to the United Kingdom to appeal the revocation of her UK citizenship.

Shamima Begum (born 25 August 1999)  is a British-born woman to parents of Bangladeshi heritage  who left the UK aged 15 to join the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq ( ISIS ).

As a teenager, Begum was married to an Isis fighter while she was embroiled in the Syrian conflict and had three children, all of whom have since died. As Isis was defeated, she was captured by the Syrian Kurds in 2019 and has been in their detention ever since at camps whose condition has been described as “dire”.

In February 2019, the British government issued an order revoking her British citizenship later stating that she would never be allowed to return to UK .

But former East London schoolgirl Shamima  Begum renewed her calls to return to the UK after she revealed she "hates" the terror group after all three of her babies died.

Speaking from a Syrian camp, the jihadi poster girl said she would rather be in a British jail so she could access education and psychiatric help.

Victims of Islamic State atrocities reacted furiously after three Court of Appeal judges said she could return here from a refugee camp in Syria. 

But The President of the Supreme Court, Lord Robert Reed, said that the UK Court of Appeal made four errors last year when it ruled that Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to carry out her appeal.

According to Reed, the Court of Appeal was mistaken in ruling that Begum's right to a fair hearing should prevail over other competing rights.
