What the petition asks
Shamima Begum left the UK in 2015 to join ISIS. Now 19 & pregnant, she wants to return to the UK, stating it is for the sake of the unborn baby.
If allowed, this would be a massive insult to our service people who have lost their lives fighting IS.
She is a massive risk to our security here in the UK & Europe.
If she requires help & assistance, she has family who can go to Syria to do just that.
