Britain's Supreme Court rejected Shamima Begum's bid to return to the UK. Britain's highest court on Friday rejected a bid by a woman who was stripped of her UK citizenship for joining the Islamic State group to return to challenge the decision. "Ms Begum's appeal against the leave to enter decision is dismissed," the head of the Supreme Court, judge Robert Reed, said in a written judgment. The Court of Appeal ruled in July 2020 that Begum needed to come back to mount a fair and effective appeal. A government lawyer told the Supreme Court in November her return would create "an increased risk of terrorism".
