Shamima Begum's Appeal Loss: What's Next for Former ISIS Recruit?

TL;DR Summary
Shamima Begum, who left Britain to join Islamic State as a schoolgirl, has lost her appeal against the removal of her British citizenship. The court of appeal ruled that the then home secretary, Sajid Javid, had the power to set aside concerns about her being a victim of child trafficking when she traveled to Syria in 2015. The court also dismissed the argument that citizenship deprivation disproportionately affected British Muslims. Begum, now 24, is currently being held in indefinite detention in a refugee camp in Syria and her legal team has hinted at a possible appeal to the supreme court.
