Former 'IS bride' loses appeal against removal of UK citizenship

Saturday, 24 February 2024


LONDON, Feb 23, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - A woman stripped of her British citizenship after leaving the country as a teenager to marry an Islamic State group fighter lost her appeal against the decision on Friday.
London's Court of Appeal rejected all five arguments presented by Shamima Begum, 24, although she can still take the case to the supreme court.
"It could be argued that the decision in Miss Begum's case was harsh, it could also be argued that Miss Begum is the author of her own misfortune," said judge Sue Carr as she delivered the decision.
But it is not for this court to agree or disagree with either point of views, she added.
