(Sky News) Shamima Begum has lost an appeal against the removal of her British citizenship.
The east London schoolgirl, now 24, travelled to Syria in 2015 at the age of 15, before her citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found in a refugee camp in 2019.
After a series of legal battles, Ms Begum lost a challenge at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) in February last year — but took her case to the Court of Appeal in October.
This morning, Dame Sue Carr, one of the appeal judges who ruled on the case, said they agreed with the commission’s decision on Ms Begum’s citizenship and dismissed her appeal.
