Execution threat for Shamima Begum as 'ISIS bride' to stand trial

Shamima Begum has been told she is set to stand trial for terror offences. And the 22-year-old, who has been stripped of her British citizenship, is now worried that she could be executed if found guilty.

Begum, dubbed the ISIS bride after fleeing the UK at the age of 15 to join the terror group, has been living in Syrian refugee camps since attempting to get her British passport reinstated last year. The Mirror reports that she is likely to face prosecution after officials began investigating her links to ISIS.

Begum was one of three teenage girls who stunned the UK in 2015 when they travelled to Syria to become Jihadi brides. Begum has said she was groomed online before leaving the UK with friends Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana.
