Mothers of lost servicemen declare war to block jihadi brides like Shamima Begum returning
British mums have backed Sajid Javid's plans to jail Islamic State turncoats who betray their country
GRIEVING mums of servicemen killed battling terror declared war on Brit jihadi fighters and brides like Shamima Begum yesterday.
They backed Home Secretary Sajid Javid's plans for a new Treason Act to jail IS turncoats.
And they penned an open letter to PM Theresa May calling for the permanent exile of IS “enemies of the state” and cheerleaders like Begum.
Their fury was sparked by Begum, 19, and a dozen more UK-born terror brides begging to come home from camps after IS's collapse.
Forces mums Carol Valentine, Caroline Jane Munday-Baker, Karen Thornton, Monica Kershaw, Anne Hetherington, Caroline Whitaker, Julie Hall, Fran Chandler, Jeanie Skeet and Hazel Hunt wrote: “As mums whose sons died trying to protect their country, we fully support treason laws.
“This would honour our sons . . . IS members and supporters like Shamima Begum should never be allowed back to trample on our sons’ graves.”
