Home Secretary has said that the Bethnal Green schoolgirl who fled the UK in 2015 to join ISIS will never be allowed to return to the UK

"Our job is to keep our country safe. We cannot have people who would do us harm allowed to enter our country - and that includes this woman."Everything I see in terms of security and intelligence, I am simply not willing to allow anybody who has been an active supporter or campaigner of IS in this country,” Priti Patel told The Sun on 27th October, Sunday.

Begum, fled UK to join ISIS with two school friends in 2015, and has begged to be allowed back in the UK for therapy after all three of her children died in Syria.
