    The UK Supreme Court will hear the case of Shamima Begum, a woman who joined ISIS in Syria at age 15 and had her British citizenship revoked. Begum is challenging the decision to strip her of citizenship on the grounds that it rendered her stateless and exposed her to risks. A lower court had ruled she should be allowed to return to pursue her appeal, but the Supreme Court will make the final decision. Begum fled London in 2015 and lived under ISIS, having three children, two of whom died. The case centers on whether removing her citizenship was lawful.

    UK Supreme Court to hear case over 'IS bride' return


    Shamima Begum left her London home as a 15-year-old to join the jihadist group in February 2015. She accuses the British
    government of rendering her stateless after revoking her British citizenship.

    Shamima Begum joined Islamic State at just 15 years old.

    A woman who lost her British citizenship after joining the Islamic State in Syria will take her case to the UK's Supreme Court later Monday.

    Government lawyers won a legal bid in July to allow the country's highest court to decide whether Shamima Begum, 20, can return home to
    pursue an appeal over her revoked citizenship.

    A majority of judges at the UK's Court of Appeal agreed that she should be allowed home.

    But the court later said the final decision must be taken by the Supreme Court.

    Shamima Begum, centre, flew with two other schoolgirls from London to Turkey before entering Syria.

    Who is Shamima Begum?

    Begum left home in London with two other schoolgirls to join the jihadist group in February 2015.

    She claims she married a Dutch convert soon after arriving in IS-held territory

    She was discovered, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year.

    Her newborn baby died soon after she gave birth. Two of her other children also died under IS rule.

    What is her citizenship status?

    Former UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid stripped Begum of her British citizenship on national security grounds in February 2019.

    That prompted her to take legal action. Her lawyers say the decision was unlawful, rendering her stateless and exposing her to the risk of
    death or inhuman and degrading treatment.

    British-born Begum is of Bangladeshi heritage. But Bangladesh's foreign minister has said he will not consider granting her citizenship.

    Begum's high-profile flight with her friends from Britain to Syria via Turkey in 2015 was followed by an international search.

    Her disappearance focused efforts to prevent disaffected British Muslims from leaving their homes to join IS.
