    The Daily Telegraph reported that Begum had developed a reputation as an enforcer amongst other members of IS and had tried to recruit other young women to join the group.

    I’m having a hard time working up any sympathy honestly.

    She’s a citizen of the caliphate or whatever now?

      I don’t see any need for sympathy for her, as I said lock her up for however long is appropriate. The problem is the UK trying to dump its problem citizens on other countries and setting a dangerous precedent for stripping away peoples citizenship and potentially leaving them stateless (which is against all sorts of international agreements)

        This seems hardly like a recurring theme. But clearly seems legal under british law.

        Seems like she can and should be tried in Syria.
