Shamima Begum's baby clearly revealed to cameras for the first time as citizenship row continues after Holland and Bangladesh close door

Shamima Begum’s baby has been pictured for the first time as the ISIS bride’s citizenship hangs in the balance as a national row rages.

The newborn boy, who Begum gave birth to last weekend, was seen cradled in her lap as she conducted a TV interview.

He was wrapped in a blanket as the 19-year-old former Bethnal Green schoolgirl spoke from Syria and said she was “shocked” by her citizenship being taken away.

There is now a complex debate over whether the pair will return to the Britain after two other countries where she may have had a right to settle, Bangladesh and Holland, slammed the door.

Though her citizenship has been revoked, home secretary Sajid Javid suggested the child could still be a British national.

Begum’s fate remains unclear since her plea to return to the UK, with Mr Javid vowing to keep those who have supported terror out of the country.

He had aimed to do so on the basis of Begum having dual British and Bangladeshi nationality.

However, a lawyer for her family has denied she has this and the Bangladesh government has said she is not their citizen and will not be allowed there.

Under international law a country is unable to make an individual stateless and Mr Javid has stated he would not do so.

"I'm not going to talk about an individual, but I can be clear on the point that I would not take a decision and I believe none of my predecessors ever have taken a decision that at the point the decision is taken would leave that individual stateless,” he told ITV’s Peston on Wednesday night.

Asked whether Ms Begum had been left stateless by Britain, her family's lawyer Tasnime Akunjee said: "It's certainly something we will be adding to the mix in terms of our appeal."

Begum was one of three schoolgirls to leave Bethnal Green to join the terror group Islamic State in 2015.

She resurfaced while heavily pregnant at a Syrian refugee camp last week, asking to return to give birth to her child.

As well as trying to return to Britain, Begum has also said she may try for citizenship in the Netherlands, where her husband is from.

A Home Office spokesman said Mr Javid's priority was the "safety and security" of the country.

Decisions to deprive people of citizenship were "based on all available evidence and not taken lightly," the spokesman added.

The British Nationality Act 1981 provides the Home Secretary with the power to strip people of citizenship.

This can be done if it is class as "conducive to the public good".

Lord Carlile, former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said Begum could challenge the Home Secretary's decision.

Figures for 2017 show that 104 people were deprived of their British citizenship which was up from 14 in the previous year.
