(Sky News) Shamima Begum, the Bethnal Green schoolgirl who fled to Syria and joined IS, has told Sky News she was groomed by friends and older men she met online before joining the terror group.
Speaking from a prison camp in Syria, Begum said she wanted to go on trial in the UK and invited British officials to question her in prison.
And she said that when she left the UK in 2015 she “didn’t hate Britain,” but hated her life as she felt “very constricted.”
In a wide-ranging interview, Begum spoke about her experiences with Islamic State and life in Syria.
“Can I keep my mask on?” Shamima Begum asks before the interview starts. “I’m looking ugly today.”
