Jihadi bride Shamima Begum will not be allowed to challenge the removal of her citizenship at the Supreme Court, justices have ruled.

Lords Red, Hodge, and Lloyd-Jones said in their decision published on Wednesday that Begum’s request was denied because “the grounds of appeal do not raise an arguable point of law.”
