Shamima Begum will be ‘in tears’ in her tent after citizenship refusal, a filmmaker has claimed.
Andrew Drury, 56, met Begum six times between 2021 and 2022, forming a connection so close the pair swapped WhatsApp messages.
But now the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) has rejected Begum’s appeal to have her citizenship reinstated, marking her final attempt through a court based on British soil. Mr Drury uncovered the former ISIS bride in 2021 after she had stopped speaking to journalists since giving an infamous "heads in bins" interview to Antony Loyd from the Times in 2019.
