British authorities have doubled down on their insistence that jihadi bride Shamima Begum won’t be allowed to return to the UK, despite her pleas and complaints of failing mental health.

Begum, now 19, is the British-born teenager who ran away from home in 2015 to join the ISIS terrorist group in Syria. She remains stuck in a refugee camp run by Kurdish forces after the UK government revoked her citizenship on grounds that she poses a security threat.
