Shamima Begum says she's 'not a bad person' in new interview

Shamima Begum has said she understands public anger towards her, but insisted she is not a “bad person” in a series of BBC interviews.

Ms Begum told The Shamima Begum Story podcast that she accepts she is viewed “as a danger, as a risk”, but blamed her portrayal in the media.

She added: “I’m just so much more than Isis (another term for the so-called Islamic State) and I’m so much more than everything I’ve been through.”
