A London schoolgirl who travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State group should be allowed to return to the UK to challenge the deprivation of her British citizenship, senior judges have ruled.
Ms Begum took legal action against the Home Office, claiming the decision was unlawful because it rendered her stateless and exposed her to a real risk of death or inhuman and degrading treatment. Ms Begum's challenge to the Home Office's decision to refuse to allow her to enter the UK to effectively pursue her appeal was also rejected.
The judge found that "the national security concerns about her could be addressed and managed if she returns to the United Kingdom". He added: "It is difficult to conceive of any case where a court or tribunal has said we cannot hold a fair trial, but we are going to go on anyway."
