SHAMIMA BEGUM “will immediately initiate an appeal” against a ruling that revoking her British citizenship did not render her stateless, her lawyer confirmed today.

Ms Begum, now 20, was one of three east-London schoolgirls who travelled to Syria to join Isis in February 2015.

She was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year, prompting then home secretary Sajid Javid to strip her of her British citizenship.
