'I'm ashamed of myself' - Shamima Begum

Speaking in June 2022, Shamima Begum said she was "ashamed" to have joined the self-styled Islamic State group in 2015, when she was 15 years old.

In an interview for the BBC Sounds documentary The Shamima Begum Story, Ms Begum said that she felt a lot of regret.

Ms Begum has lost her appeal over her British citizenship being revoked. The decision means the 23-year-old remains barred from returning to the UK and stuck in a camp in northern Syria.
