An immigration court in Britain has ruled Shamima Begum, a British-born woman who left home at 15 to join the Islamic State in Syria, has lost her appeal against the decision of the British government to revoke her citizenship.
Ms. Begum’s lawyer Daniel Furner told reporters outside court that they would be challenging the decision. Britain’s interior ministry, the Home Office, welcomed the ruling.within 48 hours of learning, in 2015, that an operative had smuggled three British schoolgirls, which including Ms. Begum, into Syria to join the Islamic State.
The operative moved the girls across the Turkish border on Feb. 17, 2015, and CSIS learned where they were four days later. Within the next two days, Canada passed the information to Britain’s domestic spy agency and its secret intelligence service, according to sources that spoke with The Globe. The sources did not know if the British agencies passed the information on to police at Scotland Yard, who were dealing with the girls’ families and responding to media inquiries.
