Shamima Begum to find out whether she has won appeal against decision to remove British citizenship
Shamima Begum will today find out whether she has won an appeal against the decision to remove her British citizenship. Ms Begum was 15 when she and two other east London schoolgirls travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State in February 2015.
Mr Justice Jay is now due to give the decision on Wednesday morning . During a five-day hearing in November, Ms Begum’s lawyers said that the Home Office had a duty to investigate whether she was a victim of trafficking before stripping her of her British citizenship.The specialist tribunal heard said that she was "recruited, transported, transferred, harboured and received in Syria for the purposes of 'sexual exploitation' and 'marriage' to an adult male".
Sir James Eadie KC, for the department, said there was "no 'credible suspicion' that she was a victim of trafficking or was at real and immediate risk of being trafficked prior to her travel from the UK."
