Shamima Begum's mother seeks 'mercy' for daughter from Britain after baby's death

The 19-year-old's citizenship was revoked in February after she expressed a wish to return to the UK while being currently lodged in a Syrian refugee camp
UPDATED MAR 11, 2019

ISIS bride Shamima Begum's mother is reportedly seeking "mercy" for her 19-year-old daughter from British officials after the teenager's newborn died last week in a Syrian refugee camp.

The 19-year-old, who left Britain to join the Islamic State in 2015, made headlines last month after she expressed a desire to return to the UK after fleeing to Syria.

After being tracked to the refugee camp in Northern Syria, she told the Times: "All I want to do is come back to Britain." With a fierce debate raging whether to allow her back, Britain's Home Secretary Sajid Javid announced that Begum's British citizenship had been stripped and she was not allowed to come  back.
