A young British woman who joined ISIS in Syria as a teenager—and is now appealing against the government stripping her of her UK citizenship—deserves special protection because she was trafficked for sexual exploitation, an immigration appeal tribunal has been told.
Shamima Begum, who is now 23, left her home in east London when she was 15 and travelled along with two friends via Turkey to Syria where she married a Dutch jihadi, Yago Riedijk, and had three children, who all died.
