Shamima Begum has appealed again to return to the UK, saying she “wants to be as British as possible”. And the Jihadi bride, who faces trial in Syria, says she wants to be "used as an example" to stop other Brits turning to extremism.
Begum, who left the UK for Syria in 2015 aged 15, denies helping to make suicide vests for ISIS terrorists. The 22-year-old has also been accused of trying to manipulate the press and UK.
She has been imprisoned in Syria since 2019 and remains there at the al-Roj prison camp. Trials of alleged male Syrian and Iraqi ISIS fighters have begun with women set to be tried later this summer.
