ISIS bride Shamima Begum again asks to return to the UK

A London schoolgirl who traveled to Syria to become an ISIS bride at age 15 has again asked to return to the UK, saying she needs therapy and is “in a really bad way.”

Shamima Begum, now 19, is living in a Syrian refugee camp near the Iraqi border. She first spoke out about her status as a former ISIS bride and her desire to return to the UK in February.

In the aftermath of speaking out, her UK citizenship was stripped and her newborn baby died.

Now, she’s asking to return to the UK again in an interview with the Daily Mail.

“My mental health situation is not the best,” she told the Daily Mail. “My physical health is OK. I am still young and I do not get sick. That is not my problem. Mentally, though, I am in a really bad way. I need therapy to deal with my grief. It is so hard. I have lost all my children.”

She told The Daily Mail that she wants to return to the UK to be put on trial for her crimes.

“The only crime I committed was to come to Syria. I would like to be at home,” she told the Mail. “There is more safety in a British prison, more education and access to family. Here, there are so many uncertainties about what will happen. It is still a warzone. I want to be taken back and put on trial in my own country. In a way it is already a punishment being in this camp.”

Begum’s lawyers are appealing the UK’s Home Secretary’s decision to strip her of her citizenship, according to The Telegraph.

Begum was one of three school girls who left London together in 2015 to join ISIS. Begum, then 15, and her classmates Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana fled East London in February 2015 to join classmate Sharmeena Begum in Syria, where they were all married off to non-British ISIS fighters, according to The Times of London.

Begum is the only one whose location is known. Sultana is feared dead, while the whereabouts of Abase and Sharmeena Begum remain unknown.

The teen told The Sunday Telegraph earlier this year that she regreted speaking to the media and believed that the British government is “making an example” of her.
