A British-born woman who went to Syria as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State is challenging the U.K. government’s decision to take away her citizenship, with her lawyers telling a London court that she was likely “a child victim of trafficking”.
Begum, now 23, is appealing against that decision at a five-day hearing at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, a specialist tribunal that hears appeals against decisions to remove citizenship on national security grounds. Begum’s lawyers said in written arguments that the British Home Office had revoked her citizenship “without seeking to investigate and determine, still less consider, whether she was a child victim of trafficking”.
But lawyers representing the Home Office said Begum’s case was about national security rather than trafficking.
