A British teenager who ran away from home to join ISIS in Syria and has been stuck in a refugee camp complained her mental health is declining and again pleaded to be allowed to return to the UK.

Shamima Begum, whose British citizenship has been revoked due to security concerns, was one of three schoolgirls to leave London in 2015 and join ISIS. She surfaced in a refugee camp earlier this year in the wake of an allied offensive against the terror group’s final enclave in Baghuz, eastern Syria.
