(National-UAE) A British-Moroccan woman stripped of her citizenship after travelling to Syria with her husband to join ISIS has lost an appeal to return to the UK to join her three children.
The woman, named only as U3, claimed she only went to Syria to save her marriage with an extremist who beat, kicked and subjected her to extreme violence during six years of marriage.
The ruling was the first significant decision in the UK about depriving someone of their citizenship since the country’s highest court ruled last year that Shamima Begum, who left the UK to join ISIS as a teenager, would not be allowed to return.
The woman, now aged about 30, travelled to Syria via Turkey with her husband and two children, then aged 2 and 1, in 2014. The couple had another child in 2016.
