Twelve MORE British ISIS brides have arrived in Shamima Begum’s Syrian refugee camp THIS WEEK amid fears over UK return
TWELVE more British women have arrived at the displacement camp where ISIS bride Shamima Begum is being held in Syria, it is reported.
The moaning 19-year-old is living in al-Hawl refugee camp with her newborn son after being driven from ISIS-controlled land in recent weeks.
Begum has been stripped of her citizenship despite pleas for the UK Government to allow her to return home to raise her baby.
According to the , the 12 new arrivals reached the camp this week, joining a 39,000-strong mass of displaced people.
It raises the possibilty Amira Abase, the third member of the group Begum fled Britain with in 2015, could still be alive.
Sultana is believed to have died in a Russian airstrike on an ISIS stronghold in May 2016.
The three teenagers all fled Bethnal Green, London, together having been lured to join ISIS by beheading videos on the internet.
Of Sultana's death, Begum told : "Her house was bombed. Underground, there was secret stuff going on and a spy had figured out that something was going on and other people got killed as well.
"At first I was in denial. I thought if we died we'd die together."
She also revealed she last heard from Abase just a few weeks ago and she was "still alive in Baghuz", the terror's group's last remaining territory.
It comes as footage published by showed Begum reading a copy of the Home Office letter her parents received yesterday.
It stated: "In light of the circumstances of your daughter, the notice of the Home Secretary's decision has been served of file today (19th February), and the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made."
What we know so far:
- Shamima Begum, from Bethnal Green, London, fled the UK to join ISIS in 2015 aged 15
- The pregnant 19-year-old was then found in a refugee camp in Syria last week
- In interviews she said she wanted to return to the UK to raise her unborn baby
- Victims and relatives of the Manchester bombing innocents reacted with outrage
- She gave birth to her baby boy, whose dad is a Dutch jihadi, on Sunday
- Yesterday her family revealed the Home Office had revoked her UK citizenship
- She claims this decision is "unjust", and "heartbreaking" and she may try move to Holland
Begum responded by saying she would like Home Secretary Sajid Javid to "review my case again and have a bit more sympathy for me and understanding, and you know, maybe give me a reason why they see me as a threat to the UK".
She added: "I'm a bit shocked... It's a bit unjust on me and my son."
The 19-year-old, who gave birth to her baby boy on Sunday, said she had not been informed of the decision prior to seeing the letter.
She added: "I don't know what to say. I am not that shocked but I am a bit shocked. It’s a bit upsetting and frustrating.
"It’s kind of heartbreaking to read. My family made it sound like it would be a lot easier for me to come back to the UK when I was speaking to them in Baghouz. It’s kind of hard to swallow.
"I heard that other people are being sent back to Britain so I don’t know why my case is any different to other people, or is it just because I was on the news four years ago?"
She then suggested she might try use her marriage to Dutch jihadi Yago Riedijk as a means of gaining citizenship in Europe.

"Another option I might try with my family is my husband is from Holland and he has family in Holland.
"Maybe I can ask for citizenship in Holland. If he gets sent back to prison in Holland I can just wait for him while he is in prison."
