19-year-old Shamima Begum, the bride of a Daesh fighter who wants to return to the UK with her newborn son, asked for “mercy” from politicians who recently revoked her British citizenship.
Begum, who wants to return to Britain from Syria, said her newborn son is unwell and she will not allow him to return to the UK alone. In an interview with Sky News' John Sparks, Begum revealed that she is struggling to get her supplies in right now.
“I don't have a card because they lost my card, so I have to run around to take care of my son now, when I am sick. I am not getting my stuff,” she said.
Asked if she had anything to say to UK politicians, she said she “would like them to re-evaluate my case with a bit more mercy in their heart, you know.” She also noted that she is “willing to change.”
