Isis child bride loses appeal to restore UK citizenship

FORMER Isis child bride Shamima Begum has vowed to keep on fighting after losing her Court of Appeal challenge over the removal of her British citizenship.

Begum was aged 15 when she travelled to Syria in 2015 to join the murderous terror organisation.

Now 24, she claims she was groomed online and wants to return home but her citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.

Last year she lost a challenge against the decision at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission.

Her lawyers brought a bid to overturn that decision at the Court of Appeal, with the Home Office opposing the challenge.
