"Shamima Begum's Appeal to Keep British Citizenship Denied"

Shamima Begum, who left the UK as a teenager to join ISIS in Syria, has lost her appeal to regain her British citizenship, leaving her effectively stateless. The Court of Appeal ruled that the decision to strip her of citizenship was lawful, stating that while it may be seen as harsh, Begum is "the author of her own misfortune." Begum's lawyers have the option to take the case to the Supreme Court. She now resides in a detention camp in Syria and is likely to remain there as she is unable to obtain citizenship from any country.
