Give shamima begum back her uk citizenship

It should be returned to her because I believe she's currently stateless, not because of the fact that she was apparently brainwashed at 15. She was old enough to know right from wrong and until recently, she's 19 now, was making comments about how she doesn't regret anything and how she enjoyed living in IS where seeing human heads in the bin was just part and parcel of everyday life.

That being said, no one should be left stateless, regardless of what they've done.

Hasn't Bangladesh already stated that they want nothing to do with her?

I'm not an expert in law, but from what I've read, Bangladesh could be obligated to accept her because of her mother. She won't be rendered stateless either way without sanctions of some sort being imposed on the UK or Bangladesh. She may even be able to get citizenship in The Netherlands because of her husband.

I'm not claiming to support her, but I feel like the government needs to standardise its approach to young people. It can't pick and choose who it deems old enough to be making their own decision.

The voting age is 18 because they don't think anyone under that age is capable of knowing their own mind enough to make that kind of decision. Yet a 15 year old girl who was groomed by people who are experts at grooming apparently knew exactly what she was doing and should be held accountable for her actions? What about the police and teachers who knew she was being groomed and did nothing to protect her? Where is their accountability?

On top of that, what's the point of having de-radicalisation programmes if we're not going to use them? And is our justice system incapable of dealing justice for her crimes?

15 is old enough to decipher right from wrong. Plus she is 19 now and still stands by her decison.

People are responsible for their actions. Don’t blame the police or teachers for this. We do use our de-radicalisation programmes. The issue with the justice system is proving she committing any tangible crime beyond joining and aiding a terror group ans fraud, even if everybody knows deep down that she did.

She was a vunerable 15 year old girl who this country and her family failed to protect from the influence of Islamic state.
Young girls are very easily influenced, especially by men promising a better life. It is clear that she was brainwashed and groomed. Religion is powerful, she believes that this world is a complete lie and it’s the world after that is important.
She is now asking for help and to get out of the situation she is in and she gets her citizenship revoked?? So she is now stateless which is illegal, with a new born child and no one to support her.
I’m by no means justifying her decision to become an I.S. Bride. I am asking for her to be shown a little mercy. As I believe she is no great threat to this country so long as she is monitored and de radicalised. I am a similar age to her and I just want her to be returned to her family. Despite mistakes she has made in the past.

I should perhaps clarify my position: if every other possible avenue for her gaining citizenship, (be it in Bangladesh, Holland etc.) conclusively fails then the UK will undoubtedly have to give it back to her.

I had a similar feeling and shared this on the other thread about Shamima, but after seeing her interviews on TV, she comes across as remorseless, with an immature and don't care attitude. Talking of attitude, she comes across as having a big one! Who's to say that this isn't all a ploy by IS? She sounds like she's lacking a few brain cells so she could still be under their control because she still thinks they're great people to hang out with. The IS were probably hoping she would have a kid, the soft UK would take her back and then she can commit acts of terror whilst she's over here.
She doesn't come across as fearful or traumatised. She doesn't come across as desperate and she's not crying and pleading to come back because of how dreadful her life is there. Even when she got the letter to say she's not a UK citizen anymore, she seemed not at all phased. I'm having a hard time believing her case.

I would assume so, although part of me wonders if the burden is more likely to fall onto Bangladesh because the UK cut their ties with her before Bangladesh did. By Bangladeshi law she is entitled to citizenship because of her mother's nationality - so I would think this is much a dilemma for Bangladesh as it is for the UK. But even if she does have to come back to the UK, I wouldn't be worried because she'll almost certainly be prosecuted heavily.

Show her a little mercy: what about ISIS showing the Yazidis mercy

It should be returned to her because I believe she's currently stateless, not because of the fact that she was apparently brainwashed at 15. She was old enough to know right from wrong and until recently, she's 19 now, was making comments about how she doesn't regret anything and how she enjoyed living in IS where seeing human heads in the bin was just part and parcel of everyday life.

That being said, no one should be left stateless, regardless of what they've done.

Except there is really no evidence she did commit violent crime in Syria beyond joining Isis.If she's prosecuted she'll be out in 5 probably.The other week someone got only 1 year for manslaughter.Jails are breeding grounds for extremism and she'd likely come out even more radical.Next thing you know some tube train will get blown sky high.

@Andrew97 please show me the video of her saying Manchester bombing was justified, she’s not that stupid to say that when she’s trying to convince people that she’s innocent

Then she may use her learned skills of converting and radicalising on the inmates, and probably be let out in 10 years to resume her extremist activities. Great idea, that
