900 people are estimated to have travelled from Britain to Syria and Iraq to join the Daesh terrorist group.
Her lawyers have been arguing that Begum was a "victim of trafficking", who as a 15-year-old impressionable teenager, was brainwashed to flee the UK and enter Syria in 2015 when Daesh ruled large swathes of Syrian and Iraqi territories. Begum, then 15, left her home in east London in 2015 with two school friends to travel to Syria, where she married a Daesh fighter and had three children, none of whom survived.
"It is now fairly well settled that she and her friends were transported across borders... by a Canadian asset of the Canadian security forces," Akunjee said.Despite her initial comments, Begum has since expressed remorse for her actions and sympathy for Daesh victims.
