Shamima was stripped of her British citizenship after announcing her desire to return to the UK. She was eventually found nine months pregnant in a refugee camp in Al-Hawl in February 2019 by a Times journalist. Shamima Begum was 15 when she travelled to Istanbul in Turkey from Gatwick Airport to join the so-called Islamic State (IS) with her close friends at east London's Bethnal Green Academy - Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15. MailOnline has contacted GMP for further comment. 'Schedule 7 remains a vital piece of legislation to protect the UK Borders and is subject to review by the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation to ensure it is used effectively and fairly.' 'We are, however, aware of an appeal against the outcome of this review so we will not be commenting any further at this time,' the force added. Her complaint was reportedly not upheld by police who say the stop was justified, reasonable and proportionate, but Shamina has put an appeal forward.

The newspaper says it was told by GMP the reason for why she was stopped was related to her 'biodata'. She wrote a complaint letter to Greater Manchester Police, dated October 2022, arguing that she believes she was stopped due to religious and cultural ignorance, according to The Independent. Shamina now dreads going on holiday again. She says there was no reason for her to be stopped and claims she didn't receive an apology. The woman, from the North, says she has had to have medication from her GP as a result of the incident. It was a dark and difficult time which still impacts me, unfortunately.'

I'm not a terrorist and didn't deserve to be treated that way. 'In the immediate days after this happened, I'd wake up every day and wish I had not. She added: 'After I was let go, I cried all the way from the airport to my house and I couldn't face the outside world for about four weeks.

'Just because I am a Muslim with a Muslim name and background, it doesn't make me a terrorist,' she told The Independent. Shamima Begum was just 15 when she travelled to Istanbul in Turkey from Gatwick Airport to join the so-called Islamic State (IS)
