ISIS bride Shamima Begum, who fled the UK to Syria aged 15, has been stripped of her British citizenship.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid ordered the move against the 19-year-old Londoner who wants to return to the UK with her newly-born child as the so-called caliphate crumbles.
She was part of a trio of girls from Bethnal Green Academy to travel to the war-torn nation to support the terror group in February 2015.

as she's a citizen there as well. Not having any regret for joining her country's enemies is what did her in. Fuck her.

Let her atone. Show her infant mercy.

But actions have consequences. She's lucky she isn't in prison.

But see she can still appeal her case.
What a mess!
