London/IBNS:  Shamima Begum, one of three schoolgirls who had left the UK capital in 2015 to join ISIL terrorist fighters in Syria, has reportedly lost her appeal against the decision to revoke her British citizenship.

Following a five-day hearing in November, Judge Robert Jay gave the decision on Wednesday.

Aged 15, she married an alleged ISIL combatant and gave birth to two children while still a minor, and then a third after turning 18.

All three children died, the third while they were detained at Al Hol refugee camp in northern Syria.

In 2019, her British citizenship was removed by the then-Home Secretary Sajid Javid.
