ISIS bride Shamima Begum has lost her citizenship appeal after the Court of Appeal upheld the decision taken in 2019.

Begum, 24, who was born in East London, was stripped of her British citizenship on national security grounds by then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid after she joined the extremist group in Syria alongside two friends at the age of just 15.

She soon married Dutch jihadi fighter Yago Riedijk and had three children with him but all of them later died.

Lady Chief Justice Dame Sue Carr said: "She married an Isil fighter soon after arriving, she went onto have three children, sadly none of whom survived."

Begum, who was accused of being an "enforcer" who recruited other women to join the caliphate, claimed she was a "dumb kid" and "didn't want to be the friend that was left behind".

The 24-year-old's lawyers have also argued there is "overwhelming evidence" she was a victim of trafficking when she fled to the war-ravaged country.

Begum was found at a north-east Syrian refugee camp a few years later and soon after applied to enter the UK for a short time.

She lost a challenge against the decision to revoke her citizenship at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission last year and was separately refused the "leave to enter" permission for her planned short stay.

Shamima Begum was just 15-years-old when she left her Bethnal Green home to travel to Syria
