Rejected petition Allow Shamima Begum to return to the UK to be rehabilitated & questioned.

Shamima Begum, along with 2 others, was a 15 year old school girl who was allowed to leave the UK when under the legal care of her parents, and was not returned by the Foreign Office or Interpol, after being ideologically conditioned into going to Syria to join ISIS as an underage bride and mother.

More details

The UK cannot protect itself from terrorism and extremism if it punishes the most vulnerable people in our society who we should be protecting from radicalisation and abuse of the highest order, and which once they legally come of age we blame them for, rather than hold to account those responsible, such as the people around them, and the perpetrators.
