Prevent Shamima Begum from being permitted to return to the United Kingdom

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Shamima Begum, and two other girls from East London, left the safety of the United Kingdom, to actively and intentionally join the caliphate of Daesh (a.k.a Islamic State), to become a Jihadi bride and supporter of this barbaric terrorist group.
Shamima Begum has given an interview to The Times journalist Anthony Lloyd and said that it was: "exactly what she expected and normal life" and that "she didn't regret her decision".

She shows no remorse and is a clear risk to the security of law-abiding citizens of the UK. She should not be permitted the opportunity to spread the hatred of Daesh / IS on these shores and to have the opportunity to indoctrinate others.
