I find a lot of the people who are very anti her coming back to the uk are also very anti asylum seekers. We can't say on one hand the people coming here are a problem and their country should deal with them while expecting another country to deal with one of ours because we have washed our hands.

She should be dealt with accordingly here. She is British. Obviously one to never trust and to keep surveillance on...but I do also think she was probably just a stupid little girl. She's clearly not intelligent AT ALL.

She should probably seek asylum in another country - I don’t think she’d be safe here - Someone would definitely go after her and I for one don’t want to pay for her protection. So in the same way people get asylum here if their life if in danger where they live she should look elsewhere for her own safety.

I believe we should ban all religious teaching. People are too stupid to deal with fairytales in a responsible manner.

Regarding her… sorry that she is dumb but right now we have a list of religious idiots that we can’t deal with, why add another. Of course she appears contrite, do you think she would be singing Anjem Choudary’s praises before being readmitted?

Allowed back, and treated like a British citizen. She was 15. What 'we' did to her, was far worse than what she did, and we don't have the excuse of being a child who had been brought up and groomed by extremists who trafficked her here.

Allowed back as a British Citizen to answer to what she did or didn't do.

Importantly, she was a child in the eyes of the law -- and I'm pretty sure most of us changed our minds about stuff we believed as teenagers.

As far as I am aware, holding a belief, even an extremely ideological one isn't in itself a crime -- it's what you do with that belief and who you harm that matters, and I get the feeling she was just an impressionable teenager who got caught up in a moment of insanity.

Hands up who recognises these names: Maria Bassma and Darifa Abia? Because they left the UK with Shamina Begum at the same time, only we never demonised those girls because they didn't have a handy 2nd nationality for us remove their citizenship with and are strangely absent from the conversation, because they are still British and got dealt with as British Citizens correctly.

Any anyone saying "Yeah, course I have but..." you should probably wonder why you have since I just made them up, their real names were Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase so unless you recognised my BS, your argument is probably as baseless as my made up citizens.

Actually 1 is thought killed by an airstrike, the husband of the other also but she herself is only presumed dead, whereabouts unknown. No deaths are independently confirmed. Either way, the Met Police said before SB was returned that none would face criminal charges. Indeed non did, including SB, she just had her passport ripped up and got shipped out to a Syrian refugee camp because it was quick and dirty way to get rid of her.

It was the wrong decision in the 1st place. People seemed to forget she was a child when she went to Syria. Most people are all for protecting child from trafficking and grooming gangs except this one for some reason.

You are not considered old enough or mature enough in this country to legally consent to sex, vote, join the Army, drink, drive or gamble. Yet this government has decided this child was more than aware of what she was doing and capable of making her own informed decision.

Read my next post. And legally yes in the eyes of the law in this country 15 is a child. So the 15 year old victims of the Rotherham grooming scandal were not children? The gang that went to prison were convicted of child grooming.

"... Also can I just point out shamina begum also does not have a second citizenship. She was not and has never been a citizen of another country. "

Incorrect, at least by the UK Governments standards by which she was a citizen of Bangladesh by dint of her parents citizenship. She might not have had a passport (She didn't), she might never had stepped foot in the country (She hadn't), the government of Bangladesh itself might have said she wasn't a citizen and wouldn't be allowed in because she was not a citizen (they did say that), but she was *Bangladeshi enough* for us to say she was no longer British....

She was born on Britain and used a British passport having lived here all her life.

The fact she's presumably be entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship because her parents doesn't mean she automatically has it

That's got nothing to do with what I said. This is nothing to do with criminal responsibility as it has never been proven that she committed a criminal offence.

This is to do with double standards. If she was convicted of a criminal offence in this country she would be convicted as a child, She would have to have a responsible adult, She would go to a facility specifically for children so it's not even closely the same thing.

It doesn't matter whether anyone would be happy or not. If she has a "well founded fear of persecution", she is eligible for asylum. Whilst the tabloids still exist, I'm fairly sure that she would be hounded constantly if in the UK, and would live with the fear of vigilantes finding her.

So if she managed to get herself to - say - France, she could claim asylum, and they would be required to grant it to her.

I think we're agreeing here, I'm just stating the governments legal position on the matter, which was clearly bollox but upheld by the Supreme Court as fact. This is why she's still in a Syrian refugee camp, she has no citizenship other than that which the UK says she has, even though they'd execute her is she tried to go there

She was a 15 year old child and British citizen when all this happened.She should be allowed back into the UK and should be arrested when she arrives in the UK questioned by the authorities as to how she was groomed and if there is anything she can help the authorities so that this does not happen again.Then if there is a case to answer it should go to court to see if she is innocent or guilty and sentenced as a child because that is what she was when all this happened

She was 15 most 15 year olds make a decision to dye their hair or become a vegan we laugh about it and say they will grow out of it.

Unfortunately she was radicalised cos well teenagers are quite easy to manipulate. Unfortunately this had implications a child wouldn’t have considered.

Celebrities get hounded by the press, but rarely get a baying mob turning up to dish out "justice".

She doesn't have Bangladeshi citizenship. She fits all the criteria to claim it, but has never done so."

Specifically, Bangladeshi law allows the children of expatriates, foreigners as well as residents in Bangladesh to examine their citizenship status and if necessary, apply for and obtain citizenship of Bangladesh. Given that foreign minister of Bangladesh has stated she isn't currently a citizen, and added that if she entered Bangladesh she would face the death penalty due to the nation's "zero tolerance policy" towards terrorism, I think it's fair to say she would not be made a citizen is she applied....

If we put her in prison it’s money and she’ll be out after a few years. Leave her where she is seen as she thought it was good to leave.

You're both slight correct and slightly wrong:

England and Wales, and Ireland, have the lowest age of criminal responsibility in Europe at 10.

This means that children under 10 can’t be arrested or charged with a crime, and children between 10 and 17 can be arrested and taken to court if they commit a crime.

The age was established in 1963 but the common law principle of doli incapax afforded a degree of protection to children aged 10 to 14 by requiring the prosecution to show not only that the child had committed the alleged offence, but that they knew the behaviour was seriously wrong.

This changed in 1998, when the Labour government under Tony Blair abolished the principle by arguing that the suggestion 10-year-olds did not understand the difference ‘between naughtiness and serious wrongdoing’ was ‘contrary to common sense’.

Like who else though? At least 900 men Who joined is and went to Syria have since returned to the uk. So we should accept the rule of law unless it doesn't suit our narrative? A 15 year old should be protected from grooming gangs but not this one?

You seem to be making a logical connection between those of us who think she should be allowed into the UK as "sympathy". If her ultimate fate as decided legally was to rot on jail, I'd accept that if it was a UK one.

She was brought up here, schooled here, developed her childhood views here, was legally as British as I am. Let's use your logic, she acts on her views and causes sheer devastation in Syria. Think the UK will be thanked for dumping her in a refugee camp rather than dealing with it's own problem?

"Let her rot. She made her choice. "

Is that not pretty much what the authorities in Rochdale said to the 15 year old grooming gang victims? Don't most people believe they were wrong to do that? Was it not the general consensus these girls at the age of 15 could not knowingly consent to what they went though and what they were made to do? Yet apparently this 15 year old girl knew exactly what she was doing and was able to consent.

But she was older than James Bulger's killers and girls are expected to be more grown up than boys. A 5 year age gap makes a huge difference, in the eyes of the law."

Well no, they'd all be treated as children, tried in a juvenile court and sent to youth offending centre. So it makes no difference in the eyes ohlf the law

You're conflating it, the HS didn't do this off the back of criminal proceedings. He did it *instead*.

The uk government have admitted there is no discernible evidence that she has committed any terrorist act. She was stripped of her citizenship on the basis of national security reasons based on what she might do not what she has done. This the uk government has presented no evidence whatsoever that suggests she has committed a terror act.

Will never change my mind on this one. Old enough to know better at the time. A decision was made, stick by it.

If she comes back then tried for the crimes which she aided. I'm sure there are a few families who would like to see her pay for her actions.

I suspect she had unsavoury views at 15.

I'm fairly sure she has been involved directly or indirectly with some horrific events.

Neither of these are under debate.

The question is how much was she taken advantage of, as a 15 yo, to turn someone with unsavoury views into someone who committed these acts. And how much responsibility should we put on a 15 yo to defend from this.

The trouble with this subject is we see the outcome and have emotional views on these. She's the bad guy, not the victim.

But the manipulation bit, and the responsibility bit, is thw same for this as (date I mention it) sex grooming victims.

We need to agree what a 15 yo is or isn't responsible for in advance. And then apply that equally. Regardless of the details of the situation.

You can't convict people or strip them of their citizenship for something that it is possible they might do because someone has a nagging feeling. By that logic any one of us could be put in prison or stripped of our citizenship if someone thinks we might do something in the future.

The most obvious is she joined a terrorist organisation. Do you approve of this? Other evidence exists and will surface at the right time, that has been made clear.

You can listen to all the arguments her solicitor will throw in the mix to get attention, or you can open your eyes to a person who joined a terrorist organisation, who refused to renounce what she had done, until she ran out of options!

Last time I checked doing something illegal didn't mean you are stripped of your citizenship especially when you are not a citizen of another country.

If you do something illegal you face the Justice system that has not happened in this case.

The difficulties with this case (and understandably so regarding security sources) is its hard make judgments without all the insight. Now there's two issues here regarding assessing the security risk and the ethics regarding the treatment of the actions of young people.

It terms of security risk assessment I would say she is not as big a danger by some amount to many who live here and are already known and watched by our security services. So by the same bench mark although not desirable she could be risk managed in line with others within our community.

Now when she was encouraged to join IS she was a youth. One of the hallmarks of youth is fucking things up and being susceptible some pretty dangerous ideas. Clearly she has done this on an epic scale. But it's also worth remembering some very powerful persuasion was used with the aim to lead her down this path. I know as she's got older and things have fallen apart for her many are upset that she has been slow to recant her vile beliefs. But then what do people expect from someone who has been effectively groomed and immersed in that world from that formative stage of adolescence? Also people say she was still supporting the idiology when see passed into adult hood. But its unfair to say someone suddenly becomes fully responsible for their actions at the minute they turn 18 when they have been immersed and brainwashed into that ideology from adolescence. Especially when you weight it against the crimes shes accused of. I think we need to look passed our (understandable) outrage and apply logic and empathy for she was an adolescent at the start of this path.

I think the Home Secretary objection is far more politically motivated than it is motivated by morals weighted against security need. Based on the evidence and arguments in the public sphere I don't see logically, morally and when balanced against security risk in line with current norms why she should not be able to return and make a fresh start. Although I totally understand the outrage.

This is the WHOLE point of this case and this thread. Not whether she did these things, or whether it can be proved, or how much she knew about the reality, or whether she's a repentant person who has learned she was wrong or an utter sly monster who just wants a better jail cell - all this is a moot point. The point is *we* should do the proper thing, get the police to gather evidence, present a case, take it court, and accept whatever punishment is handed out, whether that's a slapped wrist or a lifetime in isolation in Hull. But *we* need to do this, not just fucker her off abroad because her dad was once born somewhere else and we can't be arsed to deal with it.

Years ago my gut reaction was let her rot. But I only know what I've been told to know by a disgracefully corrupt and biased media with their own agendas... And certainly truth, justice and fairness is very far from all of their agendas.

Now with that in mind and the fact she was a child when she did whatever she did. I think she should be prosecuted for anything she's done fairly in this country. Everyone makes mistakes and I have no clue at all what her journey has been. Now the people who really need expelling are the criminals who corrupted such a young child.

She joined ISIS FFS and to this day still supports ISIS values and more importantly the atrocities (beheadings, suicide bombings etc) inflicted on countless innocent victims who are in her words ‘enemy of the state’. She has openly said she justified and was ‘happy’ with the Manchester bombings. Now let’s open the floor to my Manchester friends who are ‘banding’ this around who have a lifetime of pain and suffering from the hands of such people and see if they agree just because she’s not been convicted in a court of law as a terrorist then she can’t be classed as one. She was and still is prepared to do the same. In my eyes that’s a terrorist.

This was always gonna throw open a can or worms BUT

To the people who are saying I didn't join a terrorist cult at her age - you have to remember she's REALLY stupid. Really not the brightest spark in any shape. Of course that doesn't justify anything, she's a piece of shit, but that's why she did and you didn't.

To the people saying send her somewhere else - Why would they want her?

She's not gonna have a happy life wherever she goes, that's for sure. But she is a British citizen. I really doubt she would have the brainpower to do anything sinister again and would be so heavily watched by security forces. And yes she would have a shit time here, I mean everyone knows her pug like face now, but no other country wants her.

15 is not a child. She knew what she was doing and all around her you would have expected telling her the same.

Act like a fool get treated like one.

She needs to be made a example for others as stupid as her. "

Act like a fool , get treated like one is a dictum many people should bear in mind - especially all the 15 year old adults.

She would still be a terrorist. Simples.

What terrorist act has she committed? You and others are banding this around but haven't provided anything to suggest even of terrorism.

Agreed, on the whole. Let's prosecute her, not take someone we suspect to be a terrorist who is a national security risk to one of the most dangerous places on the planet for breeding and say "You have her, nothing to do with us", allowing her to continue acting in whatever ways are deemed a threat to our security. We need to separate what she did, from what we did. Both were wrong. But we can do something about it, whilever she's in our jurisdiction. She can't be that dangerous or we'd lock her up now. Who would accept sending someone that dangerous back to terrorism school? She needs to be prosecuted, not sent to live with more ISIS types.

I have very little sympathy for her.

If she comes back, she'll cost the tax payer a fortune in either keeping her in prison, or setting her up with a new life and monitoring her.

Totally agree

What do you agree with on the above exactly?

I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the totality of it, hence the word "totally".

You really don’t bring a lot to the table, do you….

Clearly neither do you, just disagreeing with others rather than putting forward your own thoughts. I guess all threads need a naysayer tho.

You are happy to put this whole country down with no evidence to prove you are right about a terrorist.

I....I don't think you've actually read this thread or my posts have you. Or indeed, have any understanding of any of the background of the case. It's OK, there were some long words.

"Reports that a legal process is being heard. In the Fab Court of Opinion should she be allowed back into England or left to rot where she is?"

It's a tough one... should people be punished for the choices they made as teenagers? Is she remorseful of the choices she made, or does she think it was the right choice?

Why use a big word when a diminutive one will do? I'm just aiming for 175 now. Surely it's close...

not sure. But by 15 you are a big word and should be treated as such.

You might say it's close. I say it's conveniently adjacent.

Strange how Begum has never claimed she was trafficked yet her apologists know she was. Or that she's always been open about her support for IS but her apologists say she didn't know what she was doing.

Left to rot. She knew full well the choices she was making. She was just too stupid to realise terrorists would dream of lying to someone. She’s a threat to Britain and its people. Who’s to say she’s not been trained over there to “play the victim” in order to get back to Britain and carry out orders? She played with fire and got burned. Let another country deal with her. She’s made her bed

Well, that’s Mondays rant over with

it is the defence she is making ATM.

I think she can both be open about her support for Isis and also be groomed.

They arent mutually exclusive.

There are stories of loved up teenagers who say they knew what they were doing when they ran away with their teacher ...

It doesn't matter how you look at she has not been con victim even accused of any specific terrorist offence. So let me get this straight you want people stripped of their citizenship if they say something horrific?

There is evidence she supported and was an active part of IS. There is no evidence I've seen that she was trafficked to Syria. There is evidence she lived a life where support for IS was common among her friends and family, and the pathways to join IS were well known but that is not the same thing.

Is it really strange that you have only heard those portions of the story that fit the line that the Government and its “apologists” the media want us to read? Would it be inconceivable that someone that has been made a scapegoat would not get a fair chance to have their side heard, especially when there has been no legal proceedings whereby there has been an opportunity that story to be told?

This make me sound like an apologist to you, I assure you I believe she should have faced criminal charges that resulted in a custodial sentence, I would not apologise one iota for her beliefs or some of the things she very clearly say which were lapped up by the papers and the public. The fact that she at least was and potentially still is at best a terrorist sympathiser with extenuating circumstances for how she became one doesn’t change the fact that we didn’t deal with her.

We called her a threat to national security, but didn’t prosecute her. We took her passport and dropped her off in terrorise central. How did that keep us safe if she is a danger?

If she comes back which I believe she should be allowed to do, I expect her to be convicted on some terrorism charges or other. And I’ll feel safer that she’s not spending the rest of her life in a tent surrounded by genuine terrorists and developing a grudge that could result in actual harm to us.

And I believe it is possible to be groomed and have the veiws she holds and make the statements she makes.

I think it could be a valid defence, and I wouldn't want to make a person stateless whinwas groomed.

I do think she should have a trail if she returns. And grooming would not, in itself, mean she shouldn't be punished. Albeit it's a mitigating circumstance.

But you could say that about the victims of any crime that somewhere someone has suggested was OK. But is still not a reason to strip someone of their citizenship.

I'm pretty sure most ISIS Brits have been snuck back into the UK. Shamima Begum was an anomaly because she had dual citizenship, and it feels like there is a witch hunt against her. I deplore what she did, but we must be fair minded.

couple, us we him her.

It seems odd that she is now openly criticising Isis, given the nature of the group and how dangerous they are, given how much they know about her and her about them I would have thought her openly criticising them was basically a death sentence?

So either she's expecting full protection from our security services and an identity change with the costs involved

She's not as innocent and regretful as she's saying and still has ties to the group and it's all a facade??

My gripe is this.

At 15 I did some dumb shit, I was a moron and had also been through a pretty traumatic childhood but I would have never in a million years considered joining a group such as these.

The heinous and horrendously awful crime's they have committed,as dumb as I was I would have definitely know it was wrong.

Also would people be so sympathetic if she was male.

But here's the thing,she isn't the first and certainly won't be the last to be brainwashed by what is basically a satanic cult.

I don't think she should be allowed back to make an example.

Make future (her's and hims) consider the consequences of their actions.

I think also her legal team are being very devious and despicable saying she was a victim of child trafficking trying to guilt the powers that be into submission.
