Shamima Begum, who left London when she was 15 to travel to Syria and join Islamic State, has lost a legal case over her British citizenship, meaning she will not be able to return to the UK.
Begum had her British citizenship stripped from her in 2019, on national security grounds by then-home secretary Sajid Javid.
Now aged 23, Begum brought a challenge against the Home Office over the decision to revoke her citizenship, however, it has been dismissed by a specialist tribunal.
Steve Valdez-Symonds, Amnesty International UK's refugee and migrant rights director, described the Shamima Begum ruling as a "very disappointing decision".
