British ISIS teen’s lawyer: ‘We don’t leave damaged children in war zones’
(CNN)The family of British ISIS bride Shamima Begum “support” but “do not recognize” their deeply damaged daughter, who should not be stripped of UK citizenship, their lawyer told CNN on Monday.
Begum left London four years ago to join ISIS in Syria, and the UK government plans to revoke her citizenship to prevent her from returning home.
While Begum’s family has yet to make contact with the 19-year-old — who earlier this month gave birth to a son and is sheltering in a Syrian refugee camp — it is concerned that the UK is acting illegally by stripping her of citizenship.
