ISIS bride is on legal aid despite being stripped of UK citizenship, her legal fees are paid by taxpayers

8

These ISIS savages are killers. Shamima Begum’s role wasn’t baking cookies. She stitched suicide vests, served in ISIS’s brutal “morality police,” and helped terrorists prepare for attacks. She was rightfully barred from Britain, in an unusual move for the UK Home Office, which usually bans only foes of jihad terror, but now this. The British establishment is not so much naive as so totally sold out to the Muslims in Britain that the British government is terrified of offending Britain’s large and restive Muslim community by doing anything about these jihadis. And they will pay for their complacency and dhimmitude when these returning ISIS jihadis get back to the jihad, this time in the UK. This is the Britain of Theresa May. They banned me from entering the country, along with other foes of jihad, but these jihadis are coddled and cosseted. It’s national suicide.

“Shamima Begum is on legal aid despite being stripped of UK citizenship: Fury as jihadi bride’s legal fees are paid by taxpayers,” by Rebecca Camber, Daily Mail, April 16, 2019:

Jihadi bride Shamima Begum has been granted legal aid to fight the decision to remove her citizenship, the Mail can reveal today.

In a decision blasted as ‘disgusting’ and ‘ridiculous’ by MPs, lawyers have successfully asked for taxpayers’ cash on her behalf, arguing that Home Secretary Sajid Javid’s decision was unfair on the 19-year-old Islamic State acolyte.

It means taxpayers face a legal bill which could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds to fund the former London schoolgirl’s fight to come back to the UK. She is currently in a refugee camp in Syria.

Last night there was fury at the decision by the Legal Aid Agency (LAA), which emerged on the day it was alleged that Begum had stitched suicide bombers into explosive vests. It was also claimed she carried a Kalashnikov rifle and served in a senior role in the IS’s ‘morality police’ as an enforcer of its laws.

The British-born schoolgirl left her family in East London to join IS the age of 15 in February 2015. She lived in the Syrian city of Raqqa and married a Dutch jihadi named Yago Riedijk with whom she had three children, all of whom died as infants.

After being missing for four years, the teenager resurfaced at a refugee camp earlier this year saying she wanted to come home and pleading to be allowed back.

In a dramatic move, Mr Javid ordered that she be stripped of her citizenship ‘in order to protect this country’.

However, the Mail has now learnt that British taxpayers will help pay for her court battle to return, even though Begum has not applied for legal aid herself, nor formally instructed lawyers.

Although lawyers have not been able to speak to her in the refugee camp, the LAA has apparently accepted that her family can initiate an appeal and apply for funding on her behalf. In an extraordinary twist, two law firms applied for the cash on her behalf, with one claiming it had instructions through a third party, but the LAA agreed to grant the funding only to lawyers instructed by her family.

Begum will not be able to attend the case – which will be decided by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) – because she has been barred from returning to Britain….
