The fate of Shamima Begum. [Newspaper article]

Arnell, Paul

Abstract

Five years ago Shamima Begum, then 15, left her home and birthplace in England and made her to Syria. She travelled to lend her support to Islamic State. Begum now wants to return, but is barred from doing so. She is presently in limbo, living in the Al-Roj displaced persons camp in north-east Syria. The UK Government has deprived Begum of her citizenship and refused to grant her permission to enter the country.
