london, February 23

Shamima Begum, the London-born Bangladeshi-origin woman, who fled the UK as a 15-year-old schoolgirl to join the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist network, on Friday lost yet another legal bid to regain her British citizenship and return to the UK from Syria. Previously in 2022, the UK Supreme Court upheld the decision to bar the now 24-year-old from returning to the UK.

After a series of legal battles, Begum, known as ‘ISIS bride’, lost a challenge at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in February last year and then took her case to the Court of Appeal.
