Appearing in live TV interview from Syria detention camp, Begum says she ‘did nothing in Islamic State but be a mother and wife’
Shamima Begum has said she wants to face the British courts to try to refute claims that she was engaged in terrorist acts during the time she spent living under Islamic State in Syria in an extraordinary TV interview.
Appearing live on Good Morning Britain from a detention camp in Syria, the 22-year-old said she would “rather die than go back to IS” – and that she wanted to prove her innocence in the country of her birth.
