The response by the UK government to the actions of Shamima Begum is shameful. It is discriminatory, disproportionate and inhumane. The Begum case has become a touchstone, with sections of the press and government politicians celebrating the rejection of her appeal and human rights and other campaigners bemoaning it. As with many complex issues, it is easy and tempting to adopt a simple solution. That is the wrong thing to do. She should be allowed to return to her country of birth, the only country she had ever known, to face the consequences of her actions.
