Islamic State bride should be allowed to return to UK, say judges

Shamima Begum, one of three east London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join Islamic State, has won a legal battle to be allowed to return to the UK to challenge the removal of her British citizenship. 


The 20-year-old left the UK in February 2015 and lived under IS rule for more than three years before she was found, nine months pregnant, in a refugee camp in February last year.


The then Home Secretary revoked her British citizenship on national security grounds.
