Did her child not die?

Oh yes. Completely forgot about that.

 

[Jebus_lives]

She'd be out within about 18 months if she was sent to prison. Not a bad punishment for a terrorist. I'd welcome her back if she was given a 10-year prison term, and no early release for good behaviour.

What crime has she committed?

 

[Steve0]

What crime has she committed?

Joining a proscribed terrorist organisation that would gladly see the execution of everyone (including you) in this country.

I mean, play the ''im all about the 'due process' '' card if you want but let's not portray her as some poor ickle misguided angel.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

What crime has she committed?

Get to jail yourself.

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I have to laugh at all the 'it's someone else's fault' (wonder if she's a RS) shouts, it was the social workers' fault, it was the schools fault etc, etc. I would let her back, volley her into nick, then throw away the key.

What crime has she committed?

Did she not leave to join a terrorist organization? Apologies if I am wrong on this but I thought that was illegal?

As the current legal position yes, but:

Interesting that the new Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act makes a specific law against traveling to designated areas which would be applicable in future instances, but cannot be retrospectively applied.

I'd also note the UK widened the counter terrorism strategy Prevent’s remit to cover the rehabilitation and disengagement of those already involved in terrorism, which would apply in this instance.

I'd want the due process if she were British adult who had gone out to join ISIS, however, can't get away from the fact she was 15 when she went, although she bares some responsibility for her own actions but she was a child. It's been well reported, long before Ms Begnum became news how sophisticated ISIS were in grooming young people, so I have some empathy for her situation, not enough just let her back mind you.

Indeed, almost certain she will come back to the UK unless Bangladesh flip there decision, I suppose a bit of cheque book diplomacy might move them to change their minds.

 

[LEONARD]

Legal aid will be the first step in a long drawn out process.

A change of government, and she will fancy her chances of returning to the UK, ironically a country and people she despises and would gladly kill.

 

[gonetomorrow]

We need to stop this intolerant nonsense. We are supposed to be better than that. This is Britain for heavens sake. Let this young lady return.

Are you wumming here?

 

[AndyC]

It genuinely wouldn't surprise me if she killed the kid herself to make some sort of weird point. She's crackers that girl. Let her rot.

That's one helluva cynical point of view.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Are you wumming here?

No I'm not by the way.
