Rejected petition Shamima Begum ISIS supporter now pregnant, wishes to return to the UK. Stop this
Shamima Begum, 19, fled Bethnal Green for Syria with two friends.
She married a Dutch jihadi within days, had 2 children who died and is nine months pregnant with third child. She wishes to return to the UK to take advantage of our National healthcare System
More details
Critics says her lack of remorse proves she is a radical and potential danger to Britain, who should be barred from returning or arrested and prosecuted at the very least.
Dr Kim Howells, a former Foreign Office and Counter-Terrorism Minister under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, said today that Begum shouldn't be let back into the country - but will use her baby to get in.
