(Sky News) IS bride Shamima Begum is “very angry, upset and crying” after being refused permission to return to the UK to fight a decision to strip her of British citizenship.
On Friday, five Supreme Court justices unanimously turned down her request to be able to return to the UK to fight for her citizenship to be restored.
Their judgment came six years after the then-15-year-old left east London with friends to join the Islamic State group.
Home Secretary Priti Patel welcomed the news, saying it “reaffirmed the home secretary’s authority to make vital national security decisions.”
Now aged 21, Begum was one of three schoolgirls from Bethnal Green who travelled to Syria. The other two are thought to have been killed in the conflict.
