Shamima Begum latest: ISIS bride 'could have British citizenship revoked' as home secretary vows to try stop her return

ISIS bride Shamima Begum could have her British citizenship stripped to prevent her return from Syria, according to reports.

Officials believe there are potential options which could revoke her citizenship or allow her passport to be taken away, the Times reports.

In addition to this, the Home Secretary Sajid Javid has vowed to try to prevent her return to Britain.

He told the Times: "We must remember that those who left Britain to join Daesh are full of hate for our country.

"My message is clear - if you have supported terrorist organisations abroad I will not hesitate to prevent your turn."

He also echoed Security Minister Ben Wallace's comments that she could face prosecution if she were to come back to the country.

This comes after the 19-year-old from Bethnal Green teen ran away from London four years ago to Syria to join ISIS while she was still at school.

In a Times interview Begum revealed she wants to return to the UK to give birth after losing two children while in Syria.

Following this, speaking to the Daily Mail, Shamima's brother-in-law Mohamed Rehman said: “She’s put us all though a lot of heart ache. She’s also gone through a very difficult time herself.

"Shamima's mother broke down when she heard her voice.

"Until the interview with her appeared in the newspaper we didn't know if she was alive or not. So you can imagine, this has come as a shock to us all.

“At one stage we thought she was dead. There has been no contact with her in almost 2 years. Shamima's mum just cried and told her to come home."

Despite reports that she could face being banned from the country, there are legal issues to this.

Britain's former counter-terrorism tsar said the east London schoolgirl will have to be accepted into the UK if she still only has British citizenship.

Lord Carlile told BBC Radio 5 Live if Ms Begum has not gained a second citizenship of another country she will be allowed back to her homeland.

This is because under international law it is not possible for a person to be made "stateless".

The question of how authorities manage the return of UK nationals who travelled to IS territory has been the subject of fierce debate since the group came to prominence and here have been mixed reactions to Begum potentially returning.

Womens Equality UK said: “Shamima Begum was groomed as a child, forced to marry and bear children.

“Past trauma isn't undone by arbitrary ideas of adulthood and our desire for remorse. The shameful response from government shows how little they have learned from recent Child Sexual Exploitation cases.”

Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said “under our law she is entitled to return”, but said she should the “law should continue to take its course if she has committed offences”.

Begum was one of three schoolgirls, along with Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase, from Bethnal Green Academy who left the UK in February 2015.

They flew from Gatwick Airport to Turkey and later crossed the border into Syria.
