Shamima Begum, the woman who left Britain to join Islamic State in Syria, has lost the initial stage of her appeal against the government’s decision to revoke her UK citizenship, reports BBC.
The 20-year-old woman of Bangladeshi origin left London in 2015, aged 15, as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State. She was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.
The British government revoked her citizenship later that month in 2019.
A tribunal ruled that Shamima could be stripped of her nationality because she had not been left stateless.
