Earlier in July, senior judges in a UK court had ruled that Shamima Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to challenge the deprivation of her British citizenship.
She was one of three east London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State group (IS) - travelled to Syria in February 2015 and lived under IS rule for more than three years before she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year. The then UK home secretary Sajid Javid revoked her British citizenship on national security grounds later that month.
