Former Daesh member Shamima Begum has UK citizenship appeal denied

LONDON: Shamima Begum, the London-born woman who was stripped of her British citizenship after she joined Daesh, lost a second bid to challenge the decision at the Supreme Court on Monday.

Begum, 24, left the UK to travel to Syria along with two friends when she was aged 15 in 2015. The British government removed her citizenship in 2019, effectively leaving her stateless.
