What the petition asks
Shamima Begum, a UK national from East London who left the United Kingdom to join Islamic State in Syria has announced that she wishes to return home.
Ms Begum married a Dutch convert to Islam in Syria and spoke of being "unfazed" when seeing severed heads in a bin for the first time.
Ms Begum is currently nine months pregnant and wishes to give birth to the child in the UK.
So she wants to come home now shes pregnant by her terrorist husband. And we the tax payers would have house, feed and support her."Britain must send a zero-tolerance message to anyone who leaves the country to join criminal terrorist organisations like Islamic State. Ms Begum should remain in Syria to face justice because that is where Islamic State have committed their crimes."
