Supreme court to rule on whether Shamima Begum can return to UK

Case goes to UK's highest court as Home Office appeals decision to let 20-year-old return

The UK's highest court is to consider whether Shamima Begum, who left London as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State in 2015, should be allow back into the UK to fight the stripping of her British citizenship.

Begum, 20, fled to Syria as a child to assist Isis in its mission to establish a caliphate. She lived under Isis rule for more than three years before she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year. She had already lost two children and the third died shortly after being born.
