Woman Who Served With ISIS in Syria Loses Appeal Against UK Citizenship Revocation

On Friday, a British-born woman who joined the Islamic State while still a schoolgirl in Syria was unsuccessful in her most recent attempt to have her British citizenship revoked.
In 2019, not long after Shamima Begum was discovered in a Syrian detention camp, the British government revoked her citizenship on the grounds of national security.

Begum, who is now 24 years old, claimed the ruling was illegal, citing, among other things, British officials' improper consideration of the possibility that she was a victim of human trafficking. However, a lower court dismissed this claim in February 2023.After receiving an appeal in October, the Court of Appeal in London denied her request on Friday.
