"Shamima Begum's Appeal to Regain UK Citizenship Denied"

Shamima Begum, who left the UK at 15 to join the Islamic State group in Syria, has lost her Court of Appeal bid to regain her UK citizenship, meaning she must remain in Syria. The government stripped her citizenship in 2019 on national security grounds. The ruling, which could still be challenged in the Supreme Court, was unanimous. Begum's legal team expressed determination to continue fighting for her return to the UK. The judges dismissed all of her arguments, emphasizing national security as the key factor in the case.
