She was raised by her mother until her father joined them in the UK in 2007.[2] Begum's mother died, of cancer, in January 2014.[3] Her father remarried in September 2014, and Begum left for Syria in December 2014.[4] Begum's father, Mohammad Uddin, said that her behavior changed, she stopped listening to western music, and started going to her room to pray, but he assumed this was a simple grief reaction to her mother's death.[2][5] At the time of her father's second marriage she lived with her grandmother.[3]

Members of her family were sure Begum was targeted for recruitment by a group, known as the "Sisters Forum", within the Islamic Forum of Europe, that met at an east London Mosque.[5][6][7]

Women from the group that recruited her have been described as "brainwashing" her, telling her she would meet her recently deceased mother in paradise, if she died a martyr. Women from the group are reported to have taken her to the airport, for her departure.[5]

Anyone read The Prime of Miss Jean Brody?

She was still mature enough to leave on sisters passport ( an offence in its self), travel with 2 others across the whole of Europe, marry and produce children. Was she “brainwashed”, who knows that is a matter of opinion and we may never know. Funny how she didn’t want to return to the nasty UK until ISIS were done and dusted.
I wonder if the local Muslim Community took any action against the “ sisters forum”. I doubt it but why not? If they were knowingly brainwashing gullible females

If we banned people just because they aren't British in YOUR eyes there would be quite a lot of people looking for new homes.

There are opinions and then there is the law. This is a matter of law. Which I am not qualified to comment on and appears difficult for those that are.

I do though expect that politics and pragmatism mean that eventually a way will be found for her to be returned to the UK after her being made an example to others is thought to have lasted long enough.

, there is evidence that she left on her sister’s passport... fact, so she knowingly broke the law. I said it was my opinion so no I don’t have evidence, it is an opinion. Do I have blatant prejudices against this person? Absolutely for turning her back in disdain at the UK and for willingly joining a heinous organisation, who would cut your head off without a second thought for being an infidel, I make no apologies for that. Did ISIS believe in justice?
If she is in a better place now, she won’t mind staying there then.

She is banned because she joined a band of murderous religious nutcases who beheaded and tortured Westerners and then sent us videos of it.

You actually want mercy and understanding?

How much mercy would you show the Hitler youth?

This girl is arrogant and corrupted. She cares not one iota for Britain or anything other than saving her own skin.

She gets no second chance from me.

I know. As they are the final arbiter their decision stands and is respected. The point though was that the lower courts seemed to take a different view and that there isn't a clear consensus on this.

That wasn't the case when Johnson decided to overstep his authority with Parliament. It was legally wrong and, so far as I recall, no authoritative legal mind disagreed. Especially in the SC who were unanimous.
