ISIS women demand the return to their countries
22-2-2019
The British government issued a decision on February 19 to strip the citizenship of 19-year old Shamima Begum who fled London 4 years ago to join ISIS in Syria. Noting, that Begum who lives in a refugee camp in Syria has asked to return to London before her child was born last week. On the decision, a British Home Office spokesperson said the ministry does not comment on individual cases, but that the decision to revoke citizenship was based on good evidence. For her part, Begum described the British decision as ‘unfair’, revealing that her family will consider all legal avenues to challenge it and claim the nationality of her Dutch husband. On the subject, An Nahar newspaper today cited the Insider as saying that several women from the US, Canada, Britain and France who fled their homes to join ISIS have sought forgiveness asking to return. In the details, Kelly McLaughlin of the Insider said two women, one from US Alabama and another from Alberta, Canada, asked to come home after Shamima asked to return to London. McLaughlin added, that two French women living in al Hawl refugee camp are trying to return to France as well, noting that their country is hesitating to welcome them back.
