YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"IS bride" Shamima Begum is now allowed to return to the UK to challenge her revoked citizenship - what are the next steps? Her family lawyer explains all to Shelagh Fogarty.
Shamima Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to challenge the deprivation of her British citizenship, senior judges have ruled.
Ms Begum, now 20, is one of three east London schoolgirls aged 15 who travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State group (IS) in 2015 and her citizenship was revoked by the Home Office on security grounds after she was found in a refugee camp in 2019.
Criminal defence lawyer Tasnime Akunjee represents Shamima Begum's family and told LBC she will stay in the refugee camp "for the time being" with the Home Office having until Monday to make their case against her return.
Mr Akunjee said the Supreme Court will review this counter-appeal and if they think the Home Office have arguments to be aired there will be a hearing.
The Supreme Justices said, "Fairness and justice must on the facts of this case must outweigh the national security concerns so that the leave to enter appeals should be allowed".
The judges also said that the national security concerns about her "could be addressed and managed if she returns to the United Kingdom".
