ISIS bride Shamima Begum was “upset, upset and cried” after a court ruled she could not return to Britain to fight to regain her British citizenship.
The 21-year-old is being held in a detention camp in northern Syria after the UK Supreme Court unanimously rejected her request to return to the UK on Friday.
The decision to block her return to Britain left her devastated. “She is very upset. And she is very upset and cries. He doesn’t want to talk to us, “friends told Sky News.
Begum was 15 when she and two other schoolgirls in London left the UK to join the caliphate. Her citizenship was revoked for national security reasons in 2019. The other two are believed to have been killed in battle.
He lost three children born in those years, the last boy born in 2019 after marrying an ISIS fighter from the Netherlands. That year, she told Sky News that her first two children had died of “disease” in a camp.
Begum was spotted by ITV News on Friday after the decision to walk around the camp, wearing sunglasses, leggings and a jacket rather than the veil and robes in which she was seen before.
She does not speak to the press on the advice of her lawyers, who expect to continue the call for the revocation of her citizenship.
