A young woman who joined ISIS in Syria begs the UK to let her inside

Shamima Begum, a young woman who belonged to the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria, snatched away her British nationality, promising on Wednesday that the United Kingdom had committed no crime other than pretending to be “stupid”. .

Then at the age of 15, Shamima Begum left for Syria in 2015 with two friends who were born and raised in the United Kingdom. There, she married an eight-year-old IS jihadist of Dutch descent.

In a country claimed by the IS in 2017, he wants to return to his country in 2019 to regain his British nationality he was deprived of for national security reasons.
“I am ready to go to court to confront those who make these allegations and deny them, because I know I have done nothing in the (organization) Islamic state other than being a mother and wife,” the young woman said, now 22, on ITV. After escaping fighting in eastern Syria, Shamima Begum found herself in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019, where she gave birth to a baby boy who died a few weeks later. His first two children, born in Syria, died.

Shamima Begum, wearing a tank top and veil, fell on her shoulders during the interview and added, “I would rather die than return to IS.” The only crime I committed was to join IS. ” I think I can help you a lot in your fight against because you do not know what you are doing. “

In February 2019, Shamima Begum spoke to the British media about the black veil falling on her feet. In the Manchester bombings, especially in May 2017, she was unworthy of “revenge” for the Western coalition’s strikes against ISIS that killed 22 people – her remorse was shocking. On Wednesday he said he “did not know about the Manchester attack when questioned”.

The British Supreme Court ruled in February 2021 that he refused to return to the UK and ruled that he could not return to the UK to challenge the loss of nationality until Shamima Begum was considered a danger. The young woman from London was given the opportunity to apply for the nationality of her parents’ native country of Bangladesh. But Dhaka did not apply for nationality and refused to welcome it.
