Shamima Begum has lost an initial bid to challenge the removal of her British citizenship at the Supreme Court, a judicial spokesperson has said.

Her bid's failure comes just over a month after she lost her citizenship appeal after the Court of Appeal upheld the UK's decision in 2019.

The ruling states Begum, 24, was lawfully deprived of her citizenship and ensures she will remain in Syria with no chance of return to the UK.
