TL;DR Summary

Shamima Begum, who left the UK as a teenager to join the Islamic State group in Syria, lost her appeal against the British government's decision to revoke her citizenship. The Court of Appeal judges stated that it wasn't their role to determine the harshness of the decision, but rather to assess its lawfulness. Begum's legal team plans to continue fighting the decision, arguing that she should have been treated as a child trafficking victim. The British government claimed she could seek a Bangladeshi passport, but her family argued that she was from the UK and never held a Bangladeshi passport.
