SHAMIMA Begum has lost an appeal against a decision to revoke her UK citizenship.
The Court of Appeal ruling means the 24-year-old must remain in Syria. The government stripped her citizenship on national security grounds in 2019.
She was groomed as a 15-year-old child into going to join ISIS in 2015.

What are we going to do to young British men and women who willingly join the Israel Defence Forces aged 18-plus and are now part of an organisation being investigated for genocide by the ICJ? What happens if Israel is found guilty of genocide?
What are we going to decide about those British citizens in the IDF who post video of behaviour that is illegal in the UK and may very well be against international law?
This is a live and pressing issue of applying the law on an equitable basis.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
