Human rights lawyers have slammed the decision to deprive Shamima Begum of her British citizenship, describing the Government's attitude toward her as "offensive" and "appalling".
Begum, who left east London aged 15 to join the Islamic State (ISIS), had been challenging the decision taken by the then-home secretary, Sajid Javid, in 2019 to deny her a British passport.
Yesterday, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac) decided this decision was lawful and ruled that the suspicion she had been trafficked to Syria was insufficient for her to succeed in the appeal.
