THERE is “overwhelming evidence” that Shamima Begum was a victim of trafficking when she left Britain, a court heard today.
Ms Begum was 15 when she and two other east London schoolgirls travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State group in February 2015.
Her British citizenship was revoked on national security grounds shortly after she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February 2019.
