Racist, misogynist, Islamophobic, shameful decision in UK

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Shamima Begum, who left the UK for Syria to join the Islamic State group as a teenager, will not be allowed to return and fight her citizenship case, the Supreme Court has ruled.

The court said in a unanimous ruling that her rights were not breached when she was refused permission to return.

Ms Begum, 21, wants to come back to challenge the home secretary's decision to remove her British nationality.

She is currently in a camp controlled by armed guards in northern Syria.

Ms Begum was born in the UK to parents of Bangladeshi heritage.

When she was 15, she and two other schoolgirls left the UK for Syria to join IS.

Ms Begum travelled via Turkey to IS headquarters in Raqqa, where she married a Dutch recruit.

She lived under IS rule for more than three years, and was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.

The baby later died of pneumonia and Ms Begum said she had previously lost two other children.

Ms Begum was 15 when she and two other east London schoolgirls left the UK in February 2015 and travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State group.

In 2019, the then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid stripped Ms Begum of her citizenship on national security grounds.
